People always settle at places, offering safe shelter and food; they look for lands of beautiful nature and fertile soil. In the course of centuries they change these places, cultivate the land, built their settlements, towns, fortresses, temples – they create cultural treasures. So the surrounding landscape changes and reflects human creative activity. When it manifests strong linkage between the cultural and the nature value, it is called cultural landscape. It is in fact a harmonious combination of human activity, traditions and beliefs with nature. All they are mutually enriched, without disturbing or inflicting each other.
