The paper deals with the perception of the local landscape in period sources, specifically in younger literature with emphasize on the period after 1715 when the depopulated landscape of the researched territory gradually changed into an urban structure in an advanced stage. The presented (rough) reconstruction of the pre–historical and historical landscape is based on extant reports and historical works. The selected approach takes into consideration the natural specifics of the region including historical landscape structures and archaeological finds which indicie the process of culturization, or utilization of the local landscape in the past.

One of the research areas of historical geography (HG) is the research of pre-historic and historic lands-cape and its use. The method of profiles of cultural landscape layers makes it possible to monitor horizon-tal and vertical relations in the landscape which, along with the phenomenon of the social component of so called driving forces, determine the process of anthro-pogenic exploitation of the researched territory in the course of time. The article deals with the genesis of industrial landscape of Nováky which is reconstructed through profiles of cultural landscape layers. The applied method brings more complex historical geo-graphic knowledge of the aspects of chemical industry in the southern part of Prievidza basin.

Matthias Bel (1684–1749) in his work Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica offered a contemporary view on the status, importance, response and particular facts about Hungarian counties within the Habsburg Monarchy. The study represents historical and geographical research of history and environmental issues of the Čertova pec Cave, which served as an occasional shelter for travellers and shepherds. Description of the subject is based on the text “Other places of discovery” in § XII. science section (Membrum primum physicum) of the general parts of Notitia of the Nitra County in the Kingdom of Hungary (1742). The “probe” into Bel’s characteristics of this topic has been realized through critical commentary on contemporary texts supplemented by literature and information obtained by studying old maps. Findings have been compared with the results of field research and author’s own knowledge of the subject.

The battle by Hámry (1708) is linked to names, events and tragedies of the fallen and the injured. The evaluation and specific maneuvers of the enemy armies have been discussed (fairly) reliably in the scholarly literature. On the other hand, only incomplete, fragmented data about the character of the landscape of the battlefield and its unique parameters are available. This essay examines the landscape of the battlefield and other selected phenomena of the battle, which are reconstructed using a digital model of the relief.

The specifics of the historical land use of the northern portion of the Trenčianská basin and the adjacent slopes in the White Carpathians foothills included viniculture and fish pond cultivation from the mid-16th century. The presence of vineyards and a pond in the territory reflect historical landscape structures which have survived in a fragment of specific archetypes of the cultural landscape. Its historical memory can be reconstructed for example by modeling the historical land use on a vertical cut through tessera. The paper deals with the historicalgeographic aspects of viniculture and fish pond cultivation in the researched territory, or specifically the explanation of the natural, cultural and social driving forces which permanently influenced the landscape picture of the White Carpathians foothills and the basin highlands.

Matthias Bel offered in his work Notitia Hungariae Novae historico-geographica a contemporary view of the specific studies of Hungarian counties within the Habsburg monarchy. The aim of the study is the historical-geographic analysis and interpretation of particular parts of his work in which M. Bel briefly described the bridges across the specific watercourses. Historical and geographical "exploration" into Bel´s characteristics of bridging of the rivers Váh, Nitra and Dudváh were carried out through a critical commentary of the translation of the original text using scientific literature, old maps, image sources, and results of field research as well as our own knowledge of these issues. The information about bridges which were mentioned by M. Bel corresponded only partially with today's knowledge. Bel´s characteristics of the most important bridges above watercourses provide contemporary image of that category of road constructions in the Nitra County in the first half of the 18th century.
