Lomy Mořina, Limestone quarry in Bubovice, Czech Republic.
The quarry extends through seven extraction layers, producing both chemical limestone and construction materials across an extensive mining operation near Karlštejn Castle.
Mining activities began in 1891 when Gottfried Bächer received an industrial license, leading to the establishment of a major limestone extraction site.
The Mexico section of the quarry complex served as a forced labor camp from 1949 to 1953, where political prisoners endured harsh conditions.
The quarry maintains regular operating hours Monday through Friday, with vehicle access available from Prague via the D5 highway exits at Rudná or Loděnice.
The extracted material composition includes 60 percent chemical limestone and 40 percent construction aggregate, distributed in sizes from 4 millimeters to 300 millimeters.
