Description	Methods of rock mechanics and mechanical testing are a suitable supplement to tectonic analysis and structural reconstruction in areas where structures are not clearly visible. Rock mechanics enhances tectonic research of young non-deep eroded orogenic belts, where past lithostatic stress acquired quite similar values to present-day ones. This paper focusses on cross-section balancing in frontal parts of nappes of the Outer Western Carpathians.
