Summary/Abstract: This is a review article dedicated to a book by Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska titled Zapamiętane w krajobrazie. Krajobraz kulturowy czesko-niemieckiego pogranicza w czasach przemian (Imprinted in the Landscape: The Cultural Landscape of the Czech-German Borderland in the Times of Change). The book deals with the changes in the cultural landscape of the terrains which now belong to the Czech Republic and lie at its German frontier in the period starting from the founding of Czechoslovakia, i.e., from 1918 to the present day. It is based on field studies carried out by the author in the years 2012-2014 in the municipality of Dolní Žandov (German: Unter Sandau), which belongs to the Cheb District, located in the Karlovy Vary Region. The said studies involve an ethnographic walk around Cheb, supplemented by additional research conducted beyond its borders and an analysis of archival materials.
