The study is based on the analysis of a digital model of the relief of the cadastral area of Karviná-Doly, in which the town of Karviná was located, whose buildings were almost completely removed as a result of undermining in the second half of the 20th century. The aim was to identify the preserved remains of residential buildings, industrial complexes and transport infrastructure of the extinct town as well as geomorphological formations related to coal mining and processing. On the basis of their evaluation, the values of the study area were defined, which consist in the uniqueness of its georelief, the memory carried by the local landscape and the archaeological level. Together, these elements form a unique post-mining landscape that can be seen as a monument to the environmental impact of fossil fuel exploitation and centuries of evolving cultural landscapes.
