Description
The quarry is located on the partially forested southern slope of Hořice ridge, about 300 metres northeast from the village of Podhorní Újezd. The mining area was created by joining three former quarries and is therefore relatively extensive. The sandstone forms banks with a thickness of tens of centimetres up to several meters. Sandstone is broken loose from the banks and transported to a nearby plant in Ostroměř, where it is further processed for noble stonework products (cutting, polishing, daubing, etc.).
