The canyon-like valley of the Dyje River belongs to the most important and attractive of them. The valley is embedded into the Paleogene regional planation surface (etchplain) within the hilly land relief, creating sharp morphological contrast, unique in the Bohemian Highland and in the adjacent part of Austria. In the period of the Cold War the area was closed to the public for more than 40 years as it was a part of the “iron curtain”. After political changes in the Czech Republic Europe in 1989, the border area was open to the public. Due to rare landscape phenomenon (including landforms) the Dyje valley with its surroundings was declared the Podyjí National Park in 1991. Three basic relief types have been defined in the study area. Special attention is devoted to site with Ice caves the longest pseudokarst cave system in crystalline rocks in the Czech Republic.
