Ghosts Towns of Czechia - Mining Did THIS!?!?
Ghost Towns in Czechia!
TBEX set up another tour around Ostrava in Czech Republic (Czechia). Click here to see the mining tour they set up:
The towns of Karvina and Orlova were all but destroyed after the land under them sank because of the mining operations taking place. It made the ground unstable so they had to move the whole towns to different spots where it was safer to live. Only one building still remains of Karvina. A leaning church that we got to explore and meet the creatures living in it.
They showed us a couple of the things they are doing to restructure the land that used to be unusable because of mining. This was a really unique tour.

Euro Road Trip Part 3b: Driving in the Czech Republic
So 2 seconds after the first video went up, it got muted by YouTube for a 30 second barely audible clip from the radio. So.....rather than leave the whole thing muted, I've muted the last 30 seconds that contained the song, and a smaller clip earlier that MIGHT have contained about 5 seconds of the song, but thought I'd better be safe.
AS I SAID IN MY ORIGINAL - I do not own the copyright on any of the music that might be playing the background, it is copyright by the respective artists.
Follow the rest of our trip around Europe:

Ostrava is a city in the north-east of the Czech Republic and is the capital of the Moravian-Silesian Region. It is 15 km (9 mi) from the border with Poland, at the meeting point of four rivers: the Odra, Opava, Ostravice and Lučina. In terms of both population and area Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic, the second largest city in Moravia, and the largest city in Czech Silesia. It straddles the border of the two historic provinces of Moravia and Silesia. The population was around 300,000 in 2013. The wider conurbation – which also includes the towns of Bohumín, Doubrava, Havířov, Karviná, Orlová, Petřvald and Rychvald – is home to about 500,000 people, making it the largest urban area in the Czech Republic apart from the capital, Prague.
Since the 1990s Ostrava has been transformed into a modern cultural city, with numerous theatres, galleries and other cultural facilities. It hosts a wide range of cultural and sporting events throughout the year. Among the best known are the Colours of Ostrava multi-genre music festival, the Janáček May classical music festival, the Summer Shakespeare Festival and NATO Days. Ostrava is home to two public universities: the VŠB-Technical University and the University of Ostrava. In 2014 Ostrava was a European City of Sport. The city co-hosted (with Prague) the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in 2004 and 2015.

The Moravian-Silesian Region is one of the 14 administrative Regions of the Czech Republic. Before May 2001 it was called the Ostrava Region. The region is located in the north-eastern part of its historical region of Moravia and in most of the Czech part of the historical region of Silesia. The region borders the Olomouc Region to the west and the Zlín Region to the south. It also borders two other countries – Poland (Opole and Silesian Voivodeships) to the north and Slovakia (Žilina Region) to the east.
Once a highly industrialized region, it was called the Steel Heart of the Country in the communist era. There are, in addition, several mountainous areas where the landscape is relatively preserved. Nowadays, the economy of the region benefits from its location in the Czech/Polish/Slovak borderlands.

České dráhy (ČD) or Czech Railways is the main railway operator in the Czech Republic. In 2010 its consolidated revenues reached CZK 41.0 billion (€1.6bn, $2.1bn). Revenues from passenger transport amounted to CZK 18.7 billion (65% transfer payments from the government, 25% intra-state transport, 10% international transport), revenues from freight transport operated by subsidiary ČD Cargo amounted to CZK 11.8 billion, revenues from traffic control invoiced to state-owned railway infrastructure operator SŽDC amounted to CZK 5.2 billion. With thirty-eight thousand employees ČD Group is the largest Czech company by the number of employees.
The company was established in 1993, after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia as a successor of the Czechoslovak State Railways. It is a member of the International Railway Union (UIC Country Code for Czech Republic is 54), Community of European Railways and the Organization for Railways Cooperation (Asia and Europe).
Until 1 July 2008, České dráhy was the biggest employer in the Czech Republic. After experiencing regular losses and requiring government subsidies, the railway reported its first ever profit in 2007 although it receives government subsidies. Attempts to make it more efficient are currently ongoing and a recent plan to move passenger transport to an independent subsidiary was approved by the Czech government in January 2008.
ČD operates trains; fixed infrastructure (such as tracks) is managed by SŽDC. In December 2010, the Czech government proposed bringing SŽDC and ČD together in a single holding company. The government has also changed the subsidies available to ČD and SŽDC.
ČD Cargo, the cargo subsidiary, mainly transports raw materials, intermediate goods and containers. As of 2009, it is ranked in the top five largest railway cargo operators in Europe.

In 1980 Škoda produced ES 499.1001 and 1002 as prototype locomotives for the replacement of the existing ČSD fleet. Production series locomotives started to be delivered in 1984. Two single system derivatives were also created S 499.2 (AC) and E 499.3 (DC). During 1990 further development to run at 140 km/h lead to the ČD Class 362, but an order for 30 locos was canceled due to financial problems. Some ČD Class 363 and ŽSR Class 363 locomotives are being rebuilt as 362s.

Ostrava is a city in the north-east of the Czech Republic and is the capital of the Moravian-Silesian Region. It is 15 km (9 mi) from the border with Poland, at the meeting point of four rivers: the Odra, Opava, Ostravice and Lučina. In terms of both population and area Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic, the second largest city in Moravia, and the largest city in Czech Silesia. It straddles the border of the two historic provinces of Moravia and Silesia. The population was around 300,000 in 2013. The wider conurbation – which also includes the towns of Bohumín, Doubrava, Havířov, Karviná, Orlová, Petřvald and Rychvald – is home to about 500,000 people, making it the largest urban area in the Czech Republic apart from the capital, Prague.
Ostrava grew to prominence thanks to its position at the heart of a major coalfield, becoming an important industrial centre. It used to be nicknamed the country’s steel heart thanks to its status as a coal-mining and metallurgical centre, but since the Velvet Revolution (the fall of communism in 1989) it has undergone radical and far-reaching changes to its economic base. Industries have been thoroughly restructured, and the last coal was mined in the city in 1994. However, the city's industrial past lives on in the Lower Vítkovice area, a former coal-mining, coke production and ironworks complex in the city centre boasting a unique collection of historic industrial architecture. Lower Vítkovice has applied for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Since the 1990s Ostrava has been transformed into a modern cultural city, with numerous theatres, galleries and other cultural facilities. It hosts a wide range of cultural and sporting events throughout the year. Among the best known are the Colours of Ostrava multi-genre music festival, the Janáček May classical music festival, the Summer Shakespeare Festival and NATO Days. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Ostrava!!! - Ostrava City - Part 1
Ostrava (polsky Ostrawa, německy Ostrau) je statutární město na rozhraní Slezska a Moravy na severovýchodě České republiky, poblíž hranice s Polskem.
Ostrava leží na soutoku Lučiny, Odry, Opavy a Ostravice. Díky umístění v Moravské bráně spadá Ostrava do teplé klimatické oblasti s průměrnou nadmořskou výškou 210 m n. m., která svědčí řadě druhů fauny a flóry typických pro střední Evropu. Proti jiným regionům se také liší určitými zvláštnostmi, způsobenými vysokou koncentrací průmyslu, hustou zástavbou a specifickými podmínkami Ostravské pánve. Díky tomu zde panuje klima s horkými, vlhkými léty a mírnými zimami. Průměrná roční teplota je 10,2 °C (leden: −1,2 °C, červenec: 23,5 °C) s ročním průměrem srážek kolem 580 mm. Ze severu na jih (Antošovice--Nová Bělá) měří Ostrava 20,5 km, z východu na západ (Bartovice--Krásné Pole) 20,1 km. Délka místních komunikací činí 828 km.
Město o rozloze 214 km² tvoří celkem 23 městských obvodů, ve kterých žije více než 310 tisíc obyvatel.[1] Hustota zalidnění je 1 457 obyvatel na km². Ostrava, sídlo krajského úřadu Moravskoslezského kraje i okresu Ostrava-město, je tak třetím největším městem Česka. Vezmeme-li však v úvahu fakt, že ostravská aglomerace, tvořená obvody obcí s rozšířenou působností Ostrava, Bohumín, Havířov, Karviná a Orlová má 590 000 obyvatel, vychází nám, že po pražské aglomeraci je tato druhou největší v republice.[3] Pokud bychom vymezili rozšířenou konurbativní rozšířenou správu regionu Ostravska, tvořenou okresy Ostrava, Frýdek-Místek a Karviná, šlo by již dokonce o 830 000 obyvatel.[4]
Sídlem magistrátu je Nová radnice. Ve městě sídlí též biskup ostravsko-opavské diecéze. Na území Ostravy se nachází čtyři městské památkové zóny.[5]
Ostrava (Ostrawa Polish, German Ostrau) is a statutory town on the border of Moravia and Silesia in the northeastern Czech Republic, near the border with Poland.
Ostrava is located at the confluence of Lučina, Oder and Opava Ostravice. Its position in the Moravian Gate falls Ostrava warm climate with an average elevation of 210 m above sea level, indicating that many species of fauna and flora typical of Central Europe. Compared to other regions also differ in certain traits, due to high concentration of industry, dense housing and the specific terms of the Ostrava basin. Due to the fact there there is a climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters. The average annual temperature is 10.2 ° C (January: -1.2 ° C July: 23.5 degrees C) with an annual average rainfall around 580 mm. From north to south (New Antošovice Bela) measured Ostrava 20.5 km from east to west (Bartovice-Krasne Pole) 20.1 km. The length of roads is 828 km.
The city covering 214 km ² are in total 23 districts in which there are more than 310 thousand inhabitants. [1] The population density is 1,457 inhabitants per km ². Ostrava, the seat of the regional office of the Region and Ostrava-City district, is the third largest city in the Czech Republic. However, if we take into account the fact that the Ostrava conurbation, made up of municipalities with extended powers of Ostrava, Bohumin, Havirov, Karvina and Orlova has 590,000 inhabitants, we get that after the Prague agglomeration, this second largest in the country. [3] If We define extended konurbativní better manage the Ostrava region, consisting of Ostrava, Frydek-Mistek and Karvina, there would have been even 830,000 population [4].
The seat of the municipality's new City Hall. The city also houses the Bishop of the Diocese of Ostrava-Opava. In the Ostrava area there are four urban conservation area [5].
