Historic cultural landscapes are an important part of our natural and cultural heritage and subject of its protection. At the same time, they have a high potential in the development of recreation and tourism. Climate change can be expected to affect historic cultural landscapes in a significant way. Correct identification and interpretation of historic cultural landscapes features, as well as precise prediction of the risks that threaten them, are prerequisites for setting up optimal landscape management and protection. The paper presents an interactive map that is a partial result of the research project "Historic cultural landscape in danger and vision of its development in the context of current landscape changes" including creation of a spatial database of units of historic cultural landscapes of the South Moravian Region, the selection of suitable indicators for the assessment of drought and flood risks, and the interpretation of the overlap of natural risk layers with the database. The map was constructed as an interactive map usable for planning and decision-making in the area, for orientation of municipalities in the issue and as an educational tool for public awareness.
