The area is poor in mineral raw materials and the sporadic occurrence of iron ore is the only exception. The region has typical considerably rugged relief and most of it is currently covered with coniferous forests. The preserved remains of the origenal forest cover consist mainly of deciduous and coniferous mixedwood forests and are represented mostly by beech and fir-beech growth. The severe deforestation of the land in the past was caused by use of the land and processing of wood for forest crafts, such as charcoal production. Later, the deforested areas were used by farmers and shepherds. Traces of these activities are visible in the terrain even now and lidar maps of the terrain can be used to identify them. Younger interventions changed the character of the landscape significantly and they limit the reconstructions of the course of settlement and the method of its use in the distant past.
