| Description | The current excessive number of visitors to tourist attractions brings with it a number of negative factors, causing environmental and social conflicts and endangering the very essence of the visited objects. Dispersal of visitors to a wider area, but not to already protected nature areas, can bring relief to such places. Ancient cultural landscapes offer a compromise between usually small historical sites and much larger natural areas. They include both cultural and historical potential and natural aesthetic landscape factors. The identification of the remnants of the old cultural landscape in the current landscape is based on pictorial documents historically preceding the present. Using recent colour orthophotomaps and maps of the so-called stable cadastre completed in the first half of the 19th century in the Habsburg monarchy, more than 1,100 remnants (segments) of the ancient pre-industrial cultural landscape were found in the historical region of Moravia in the Czech Republic. These bear the features of continuous development in many cases from the Middle Ages to the onset of the main wave of the industrial revolution in Moravia. Many land reforms took place in Moravia in the period after 1850, which fundamentally changed the landscape. The identified remnants of the old landscape thus represent a significant landscape natural and cultural heritage. However for their use in tourism, the identified remnants of the ancient landscape must have a number of properties, which on the one hand represent area attractiveness for visitors, and on the other hand their opening for tourism must not lead to their damage. Making them accessible to tourism and the general public (from spatial planning, to education and the arts) requires good documentation, the joint consent of the legal and physical bodies concerned and certain investments. The mountainous and foothill Altai region can offer a number of interesting localities such as ancient cultural landscapes. To find and describe them, all available pictorial documentation from the pre-Soviet period can be used. This way, little-known and interesting localities can be opened to the public, and these will relieve the popularly visited sites. |
