N2 - The Carpathian mountains were place of intense fighting between three empires (German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian) during spring of 1915. In this time, one important part of frontline between armies was located on the territory of contemporary north-eastern Slovakia. This territory was a witness of offensives of both sides, which resulted in up to 45,000 dead soldiers and 250,000 wounded or taken as prisoners of war. After 100 years, we survey this area, where we have chosen several sites for more detailed research. The chosen positions are located in different environment and had different fate during military operations, which makes them suitable for comparations of survey aproaches These sites provides an unique opportunity to answer these questions1) how did the three armies organise building of fortifications at strategically important positions in early spring of 1915; 2) what were conditions of trench life in Carpathian battlefield and 3) what part of the narrative could and couldn't have been achieved through used methods. With the use of modern digital methods like LiDAR, GPS, GIS, archaeogeophysics, we can perform spatial analyses. With the help of contemporary manuals, pictures, photographs, memories and modern archaeological documentation of relics, we can digitally reconstruct the appearence of trenches and battlefield. With these reconstructions and visualisations,we can open more possibilities of research and popularization. Therefore, we are able to discover stories connected to places of unique events, which did happen here in these hard times more than 100 years ago.
