I, quietly sleeping...
For many years the traces of mining activity in the post mining landscape, also known as POHO, were quietly covered by nature.
…patiently waiting
The centuries of mining have left their mark on the local landscape, visible at a glance in the form of coal treatment plants, slag heaps, tailings, and mining towers. Nearly a quarter of all brownfields in the Czech Republic are concentrated here as well. All of these are typical features of the post-mining landscape in the Karviná region.

When the Underground Falls Silent Forever
The coal heart of the Karviná region, though beating more quietly, is still alive. But we know it will fall silent within a few years.
With that, a new era will begin for POHO.
This is why the POHO 2030 transformation program was launched by the Moravian-Silesian Region in collaboration with local stakeholders. It’s built on the comprehensive Development Concept for the Karviná Post-Mining Landscape, coordinated by Moravian-Silesian Investments and Development, a regional development company.
