Stones, sandpits and limestone quarries in the Czech Republic

Granite pit quarry with block mining in layers with a thickness of up to 4 metres, located about 300 metres northeast from the village of Vápenice. The quarry is easily accessible from the village via a local road. The mined stone is transported to a nearby non-mined Vápenice quarry, located at the western border of the village of Vápenice near road No. 105, which includes gross and fine stonework production plants (cutting, polishing and jetting). The geological conditions and equipment of the plant allow mining and processing of monumental blocks. For example, the 10 metre high pylon used in the memorial in front of the Emmaus Monastery in Prague comes from this quarry.
