Muckov: Hotels and accommodations

Nature

West of Muckov, the Muckovské vápencové lomy limestone quarries lie in a forest, about 300 meters from the village. Impressive monumental rock columns rise there. The quarries are botanically valuable, serve as winter quarters for bats, and preserve remnants of underground crystal limestone mining.

History

Muckov has been documented as a settlement since 1518. The finely ground Muckov limestone is said to have been used in 1914 as medical powder in first-aid boxes for soldiers departing for the front; it is also said to have been supplied to Bayer in Germany and to a company in Paris that manufactured cosmetic powder.
