Chrustenice: Nature Park and Mining History

Nature and Landscape

Chrustenice directly borders Přírodní park Povodí Kačáku. The eastern part of Chrustenice lies within Přírodní park Povodí Kačáku. The nearby Přírodní park Povodí Kačáku is shaped by the Loděnický potok, also known as Kačák, and provides a habitat for numerous rare animals and protected plants. Chrustenice are considered an ideal starting point for excursions into Český kras and Křivoklátsko. In the wider regional setting of Český kras, limestone cliffs, open deciduous forests, steppes and the canyon-like valley of the Berounka alternate. For planning purposes, the immediate connection with nature, the park landscape and the broader landscape context can be considered as separate levels.

Mining and Culture

Chrustenická šachta has several hundred metres of accessible galleries containing exhibits on the history of mining and quarrying in the region. A ride on a mine train is part of the guided tour of Chrustenická šachta. In front of the entrance to the underground section of Chrustenická šachta is a permanent exhibition about the Amerika–Mořina quarries. For planning an excursion, the length, guided-tour element and exhibition topic can be compared as different focal points. The accessible galleries, exhibits, mine-train ride and exhibition in front of the underground entrance each place a different emphasis within the subject of mining and quarrying.
