Northern Bohemia is an area where during the last century the largest changes were recorded as consequences of anthropogeneous activities. The former attractive recreation territory with good conditions also for cultivation of crops and root-crops has been devastated and environmentally damaged as a result of sharp increase of brown-coal mining and development of energetic industry. At the end of the 20th century, thanks to the improvement of technologies, the environmental load significantly decreased and the possibilities for recreation slowly return to the area. A perspective for a development of recreation is the reclamation of the area, especially hydrological reclamation. The lake Most will be a significant water reservoir with various possibilities of use. In relation to the projected of hydrological reclamation further improvements of the residual pit were carried out - as forest, agricultural and gardening reclamation. This area has a chance to become a frequently visited place of rest and suburban recreation.
