Environmental geomorphology contributes significantly to understanding of the relationship between the effects of human activities, landforms, and geomorphologic processes as well as offers practical solutions for demands of application sphere. This article presents information about scientific values on unique sites - Mt. Kraví hora in the Novohradské hory Mts. (the Czech Republic). The study locality represents an area, which had restricted access prior to 1989 and it is also one of the reasons why the scientific value of the site was preserved in perfect form. Among the preserved scientific values rank landforms such as castle koppies, frost-riven cliffs, blockfields, a mushroom’s rock, etc. These perfectly preserved landforms (scientific values) sites led to the declaration of the site as a Geomorphologically Significant Site in the Czech Geological Survey of 2002.
