Abstract

The geological mapping and investigation of the Quaternary sediments on the territory of the Podyjí National park took pláce during 2001-2002. The fluvial sediments form a typical terrace staircase which incorporates 6 different levels. One of them 75-80(90) m above the river are classified to Lower Pleistocene, four lower levels 45-50, 30-35, 20-25 m and 15-12 m correlate with Middle Pleistocene and the lowest one (8-10 m) is Upper Pleistocene in age. In addition to the 3-4 erosion levels developed within the Late Glacial and Holocene, floodpain sediments were identifled there. The highest gravels at an altitude of 120 m are of Upper Miocene age. With respect to the results of the micromorphological studies, the fossil soils are correlated with PK H, PK IV-Vn and PK X respectively.
