Flooded mining areas - a photo on Flickriver

Koš is village in locality Horná Nitra, Slovakia, which was affected by lignite mining. "Old" Koš was completely undermining and it started to sink. Citizens were moved to the "new" Koš, which was part of village built near old settlement.
Curiosity is moved presbytery of old gothic church from old to new Koš using the special and heavy mechanisms, realized in 2000. Distance from original place to new is about 2 km.
Old church was built in 1409 and rebuilt in 1940, and after moving of presbytery it was destroyed.
Near moved presbytery is new church with copy of this presbytery.
Old Koš is abandoned, a lot of buildings was destroyed. Ground is slowly sinking and flooding, what created a lot of new biotope.

The photo was taken during our 1st "exploration" trip around Slovakia on the March 2017. More photos are there www.flickr.com/photos/miroslav_benak/albums/7215768164807...
