Lom
Hvezda
První zminka o lomu pochazi z roku 1940, tezba
zde vsak jiz probihala drive. Jedna se o byvaly melafyrovy lom
ktery slouzil k tezbe sterku a lomoveho kamene. Tento material byl
pouzivan ke sprave obecnich cest a silnic v okoli lokality. Kamen
obsahoval krystalicke odrudy kremene (zahneda, ametyst, kristal),
dale kalcit, krystaly barytu a nejvice pak achatove mandle. Z
tohoto lomu pochazi i geoda o prumeru 80cm, jez je umistena ve
sbirkach novopacke Klenotnice.
Technicke udaje:
Puvodni nazev: Za Horama
Stari kamene: Permokarbon
Prumerna rocni tezba: 300 - 400m3
Zpusob dobyvani: rucne, odstrelem
Pocet zamestnancu: 2 - 3
Pristup k lomu je mozny nekolika zpusoby:
vlakem: do stanice Stara Paka, odtud pesky smer Karlov po
zlute. Az dojdete na rozcestí se zelenou, dejte se po znackách do
prava po cca 100m opet do prava a pak se jiz ridte sipkou vasi GPS.
Ta vas dovede primo do lomu a mozna i ke kesi. (cca 2 km)
autem: ze Stare Paky smer Karlov, dále po zlute a hned za
zeleznicnim prejezdem je moznost parkovani 1-2 vozidel) dále pesky
po zlute - viz vyse (necely kilometr)
pesky: z Nove Paky po zlute pres Staropackou horu do lomu a
dale na nadrazi Stara Paka (cca 8 km)
Nejezdete, prosim, autem az k lomu. Jednak proto, abyste zbytecne
nedrazdili mistni chatare a jednak proto, abyste si trochu protahli
svoje telo.
Schranka je umistena na bezpecnem miste, proto není treba nikam
lezt po skalach. Presto doporucuji odlov za denniho svetla.
Vzhledem k umisteni kese, prosim, vymenujte tematicky materiál
(zajimave kaminky, mineraly…) + GC,TB
Diky H+ pridavam anglicky preklad.

The Star
Quarry
The first reference of this quarry comes from
1940, but the mining started even earlier. It used to be a quarry
for gravel and shiver. This material was used for repairs of public
roads nearby. The stone contained crystalic varieties of flint
(smokestone, amethyst, rock-crystal) and also calcite, crystals of
barytes and mostly achate almonds. This quarry is also the place
where a geode with diameter of 80cm (~2.5 ft), that is now saved in
the collection of Klenotnice (Jewel museum) in Nova Paka.
Technical data:
Original name of quarry: Za Horama (Behind the Mountains)
Age of stones: Permocarbon
Average yearly production: 300 - 400m3
Mining methods: manual, explosives
Number of employees: 2 - 3
It is possible to access the quarry by several ways:
Train: take the train to station Stara Paka, follow the
marked yellow tourist path towards Karlov. When you reach the
crossing with green marked path, turn right and after about 100 m
follow your GPS. It will lead you to the quarry and hopefully to
the cache. (Total about 2 km = 1,2 miles)
Car to parking: Drive from Stara Paka towards Karlov, then
follow the yellow tourist path and park just after the railway
crossing, there is space for 1-2 vehicles), follow yellow path as
described above. (Total under 1 km = 0,6 miles)
Walk: from Nova Paka follow the yellow tourist path over the
Stara Paka Mountain to the quarry and then walk further to the
Stara Paka nadrazi (train station). (Total about 8 km = 5 miles)
Please don't drive the whole way to the quarry. First we don't want
to provoke the locals and we also want you to stretch your body .
The cache is placed on a safe place, it is not necessary to climb
any rocks.
Please trade only thematic materials related to the quarry and
mining (interesting stones, minerals…) + GC & TB.
