We have made several case studies in historic parks in the region of south-western Slovakia with a georadar X3M equipped with 500 MHz antenna using several scanning methods (including planar). Interpretation has shown not just modern features like engineering networks, but also historic elements (like pathways) which can be now easily approved by an invasive archaeological survey

https://doi.org/10.4467/2353737XCT.14.153.3241The largest development in sepulchral culture came at the time of the Enlightenment, when an architectural type of cemetery was created. This type of burial grounds often currently constitutes significant areas of historical greenery in our cities. The quantity and quality of the greenery in cemeteries, however, have decreased significantly in recent decades. The maintenance of these historical cemeteries requires in particular the protection and restoration of the paths. The article is focused on an evaluation of the greenery in the two eldest cemeteries in the town of Nitra. On the basis of the results of this evaluation, we have proposed principles for a framework methodology for restoring greenery and maintaining woody plant management in historical cemeteries.
