Relief types as a basis for landscape of the Podyjí National Park

Canyon-like valley of the Dyje River with a number of incised meanders forms the state boundary between Austria and the Czech Republic. Valley of the Dyje River is a main geomorphological phenomenon and the axis of the Podyjí National Park, which was declared in 1991. Geomorphological research began to develop after the declaration of the Podyjí National Park, but so far has not been elaborated map of the relief types. This paper is the first attempt to create a map of relief types of the studied area. Three basic relief types have been defined in the study area: i) Polygenetic erosional-denudational regional planation surface, ii) Fluvial erosional-denudational slopes of the canyon-like valley of the Dyje River and its tributaries, iii) Polygenetic marginal slope of Bohemian Highland. Within these main types, 9 subtypes have been defined. Canyon-like valley of the Dyje River with a number of incised meanders forms the state boundary between Austria and the Czech Republic.
