Combining documentary data and field survey to reconstruct historical landslide by the Kozí vrch hill near the Ústí nad Labem city (Northern Bohemia)
Abstract
The landslide from January 1770 near the Kozí vrch hill, 5 km east from the Ústí nad Labem city (N Czech Republic), represents the oldest known catastrophic landslide in the Labe River valley in this area. In this paper, we present the alternative hypothesis for the reconstruction of this landslide based on field survey, ERT profiling and analyses of various types of historical documentary data. Our research resulted in two alternative hypotheses for the landslide location, both of them suggesting that the source area of the landslide was situated in the amphitheatre-like depression northward from the historical Veselí village rather than in the ravine at the NWfoot slope of the Kozí vrch hill, which is the conventional hypothesis.
