Abstract

The article in the first part provides an overview and content analysis of fundamental works dealing with anthropogenic transformations of the alpine landscape in the Low Tatras National Park from the Middle Ages to its inception. It focuses on the works that deal with the transformation of the landscape in general and then emphasizes the literary works dealing with the main anthropogenic pressures leading to the emergence of an anthropogenic landscape at the top part of the mountain range located within the national park. Following this researches, the study provides a summary of works on tourism, which at least partially include the issue of ecotourism development, as works dealing with the possibilities and potential of the area for the development of ecotourism in the Low Tatras are until now completely absent. In the second part, the work presents the basic characteristics of this modern form of tourism (ecotourism) and the conditions of its application in the anthropogenically modified and created the landscape of the national park.

Keywords: research, an overview of relevant works, anthropogenically influenced landscape, national park, ecotourism
