Abstact
The results are summarized of the correlation between the detailed geomorphological analysis and the geodynamic interpretation of the twelve high-precision levelling measurements of the Earth's recent surface movements (1983–1989) in the hazardous area of Jezeří Castle in the Krušné hory Mts. Indicated are the types and régime of these movements (Tab 1, Fig 3) which are climatic, tectonic and anthropogenous in origin. Both slightly and strongly deformed zones in the near-surface part of crystalline rocks massif were formed (Fig 1). The landform patterns (Fig 2), as well as the present-day activity of geological processes are described.
