POHO – a landscape stretching between Havířov, Karvina and Orlova

POHO2030 is a unique transformation programme aimed at revitalising the mountain landscape of Karviná. This area, situated between Havířov, Karviná and Orlova, boasts a rich history that has been shaped by centuries of coal mining. The aim of this concept is a comprehensive transformation of the mountain area to benefit companies, local residents and tourists. More than 30 renowned experts from a wide range of disciplines have been involved in developing the vision for the transformation of the mountain landscape.

Today, the vision is becoming a reality and many sub-projects can already be seen in the landscape that have been implemented.

POHO Park Gabriela

One of the flagship projects that aims to create a dignified centre of the mountain landscape, offering facilities not only for visitors to the Gabriela mine but also to the adjacent church of St Peter of Alcantara. The existing buildings of the former mine site will be revitalised and a new tourist information centre will be built to provide year-round facilities for visitors. It will also include a brand new interactive exhibition of the old mining town of Karviná, dedicated to the stories of people who were affected by coal mining in Karviná. In addition to the exhibition on the life of miners and coal mining, the renovated cultural monument will offer a representative space for conferences, workshops, festivals and other various events. The project is financed with the financial support of the Moravian-Silesian Region and funds from the Operational Programme Just Transformation.
