a2_The key to understanding the parallel coexistence of the romantic and the scientific components in the Czech environmentalism is their connection at the level of personal experience of many of its protagonists (including persecution of some ecological initiatives during the socialist era). Thanks to a combination of resistance against etatistic solutions of environmental problems and efforts aimed at changing the society´s attitude to nature through individual experience-based eduction, the Czech environmentalism reached the same intellectual point at the same time as the Western European ecological modernization although each used a very different route to get there. However, the authors claim that the Czech environmentalism that had formed in the manner outlined above was not adequately equipped or prepared to participate in solving broader structural aspects of the environmental crisis (which did not end with the demise of the previous regime) after the return of the country to capitalism.

a2_Klíčové pro pochopení souběžného působení romantické a vědecké složky v českém environmentalismu je jejich propojení v rovině osobní zkušenosti mnoha protagonistů (včetně pronásledování některých ekologických aktivit v období socialismu). Díky kombinaci odporu k etatistickému řešení problémů životního prostředí a úsilí o změnu vztahu společnosti k přírodě formou individuální zážitkové výchovy dospěl český environmentalismus intelektuálně do stejného bodu a ve stejnou dobu jako západoevropská ekologická modernizace, i když velmi odlišnou cestou. Zároveň však takto zformovaný český environmentalismus nebyl podle autorů vybaven k tomu, aby se po návratu země ke kapitalismu zapojil jako vyzrálý kritický aktér do řešení širších strukturálních aspektů krize životního prostředí, která neskončila spolu s bývalým režimem.

The history and the present of the tramp movement were studied in several tramp areas of Moravia (West Moravian Trojříčí, Tišnov Region and Valašské Klobouky and Vsetín Region). The published outputs defined tramping as a cultural phenomenon, discussed its history and present, basic conditions for the development of this phenomenon, various attributes, tramping festivities, tramp pubs, and they addressed issues of the legality of the tramp movement. In the last ten years, tramping has been presented to students of the Institute of European Ethnology at the Faculty of Arts, in Brno, Masaryk University in the form of semester-long cycles of lectures and field research. It resulted in student reports from field research, their own expert essays and graduate-level theses. Currently, tramping continues to develop just like research on the tramping subculture in Brno and other centres while thematically focused exhibitions are organized as well (Ethnographic Department of the National Museum, National Gallery) and entire tramping sections are established in museums (Jílové u Prahy).
The essay investigates possibilities and limits of writing history of Czech tramping based on examples from inter-war and the 1960s tramping. The text presents three modes of both existing and possible writing of history of tramping. 1. Historical topography of tramping inspired by Dějiny trampingu by Bob Hurikán which focuses on documentation of particular tramp settlements and camps and their histories while revealing ideas about tramping of the period. 2. History of tramping as academic narrative-synthesis working with ideas of continuities and historically constantphenomena about tramp communities through last decades of contemporary history. 3. Genealogy of tramping, deconstructing tramping phenomenon by showing several inspirations, irregularities, motives and events which created its lasting forms and contents. Genealogy helps to historize tramping by its closer connections with political, social, cultural and economical events.
Ethnologists began research of Czech tramping (tramping movement or tramping subculture) as part of modern research of urban culture only in the 1980s; before 1989 they dealt with it only marginally (A. Mann from Bratislava researched contemporary tramping festivities, V. Vohlídka and J. Svobodová from Prague focused on history and material culture of tramping in Bohemia). At the beginning of the 1990s, it was Z. Uherek who investigated inter-war festivities of Prague tramps; J. Souček pointed out other possibilities of similar research. In 1995, focus of ethnological research of tramping moved to Moravia when the researchers from branch of the Institute of Ethnography and Folkloristics in Brno, the current Institute of Ethnology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, resolved the project “The Culture of Contemporary Children and Youth with Special Attention to Folklore Expressions”. The project also included research of youth subcultures, tramping included. It was mainly Karel Altman who focused on the research of tramping. The project investigated history and present of the tramping movement in several regions in Moravia (WesternMoravian Trojříčí, the Tišnov, the Valašské Klobouky and the Vsetín areas). Karel Altman presented themes relating to tramping in the form of cycles of lectures called “Tramping as a Subculture” at the Department of European Ethnology at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. These lectures encouraged several students to write their Master’s theses on this theme. At the turn of the century one of the compulsory courses for students of the Department of European Ethnology included field research of tramping movement especially in southern Wallachia, conducted during several years. Research of tramping still continues in Brno.
The paper discusses secondary recreational uses of abandoned slate quaries, dumps and mines in the area of Nízký Jeseník (Czech Republic) focusing on campers and tramps, who colonized this area since the second half of the 1940s. A paralel between such an adaptation of former industrial places and natural succession is presented. An area of Koňský důl (Horse quarry) is used as an example of such a site where mining history, recreational usage, new local names and continuous adaptation of space led to an establishment of a distinctive, well-known place that can still be classified as a brownfield but where its new roles are much more prominent. Local contemporary legends are also mentioned, including a character called Honnbesch, a malicious former German farmer hiding in the underground.
