How does the geoportal work?

The operation of the geoportal is quite intuitive. Zoom in on a place that interests you, find a specific address, or explore the whole province. Activate the contours of the aerial photos or the front lines, or change the background layer and make aerial photos transparent to easily compare the situation then and now. All information can be found below. Have fun exploring!
