Geocache Description:

Tato kes vas zavede na misto, ktere se nachazi mimo bezne cesty a urcite stoji za navstevu.

Bustehradska halda (357 m n. m.) je mohutny umely terenni utvar mezi obcemi Kladno-Vrapice, Bustehrad a Stehelceves pobliz mesta Kladna ve Stredoceskem kraji, navrseny ve druhe polovine 20. stoleti jako skladka strusky z kladenskych huti, jakoz i dalsich prumyslovych odpadu. Jedna se o nejmohutnejsi haldu na Kladensku, ktera, zvlaste pri pohledu od severovychodu, tvori zdaleka viditelnou a neprehlednutelnou soucast krajiny v podobe stolove hory.

Halda se rozklada necelych 6 km vsv. od centra Kladna na pravem svahu udoli Dretovickeho potoka, v mistech, kde se stykaji hranice tri obci. Vetsina haldy spociva na katastralnim uzemi obce Stehelceves, polozene pod jejim severovychodnim ubocim. Jizni cast prinalezi k mestu Bustehrad, k nemuz je obracena. Obe tato sidla deli od haldy vzdalenost nekolika set kroku. Nejzapadnejsi cast haldy zasahuje na uzemi mesta Kladna, presneji receno jeho predmesti Vrapic, tyci se primo nad starobylym kostelem sv. Mikulase a mestskou cistirnou odpadnich vod. Uzemi, ktere halda pokryva, ma rozlohu priblizne 55 ha a zhruba obdelny tvar, mirne protazeny ve smeru jz. - sv. Rozmery cini asi 800 × 600 m, po uhlopricce kolem 1 100 m. Protoze temeno haldy je vicemene ploche, meni se jeji vyska v zavislosti na miste porovnani s okolnim terenem - z jizni strany to predstavuje neco malo pres 20 m, na severu se vsak halda vypina nad udoli o temer 70 m. K hlavnimu, priblizne lichobeznikovemu pudorysu telesa haldy se na severozapade primyka o neco nizsi vybezek, v nynejsi dobe jedina aktivni cast. Ostatek telesa neni provozovan, jeho celkova rozloha se nijak nezvetsuje.

Hlavni cinnost haldy, zalozene po 2. svetove valce, spadaji do obdobi 50. az 80. let 20. stoleti. Zeleznicni vlecka, kterou je napojena na kladenske prumyslove arealy, premostuje mistni silnici Vrapice - Bustehrad pri jihozapadnim okraji haldy. Od tohoto mista pak po vejirovite se rozbihajici soustave koleji probihalo postupne nasypani a zvetsovani telesa. Podle soucasnych odhadu halda obsahuje kolem 23 az 27 milionu tun materialu - vysokopecnich a ocelarenskych strusek a kalu, teplarenskeho popilku, popela, skvary, kalu z cistirny odpadnich vod. V mensi mire byl na haldu, jak volne tak v sudech, ukladan i nebezpecny odpad, mj. obsahujici olovo ci kyanidy. Poboureni verejnosti (pozdeji podporene medializaci v tehdy popularnim casopise Mlady svet) vyvolal v roce 1988 pripad, kdy si skupinka deti z okolnich obci vylezla hrat na Bustehradskou haldu a nevedomky se priotravila. Tato skutecnost jen urychlila jiz probihajici utlum provozu a rekultivaci haldy. Koncem 80. a pocatkem 90. let tak byla vetsina telesa pokryta hlinou. Umele osazovana zelen se prilis neujala, ale v prubehu nasledujicich roku si priroda sama poradila a zacala na svazich haldy ziskavat prevahu. Puvodne zarovnany povrch se casem mirne zvlnil v dusledku rozdilneho sedani ulozenych materialu. Nyni vetsinu haldy pokryva rumistni a stepni vegetace, postupne se zde uchycuji stromy. Misto je vyhledavanym utocistem zvere, zvlaste zajicu a bazantu, jeho uloha v okolni krajine je dokonce prirovnavana k nedaleke prirodni pamatce Vinaricka hora.

V soucasnosti nepredstavuje halda pro sve okoli neprijemnost, nedochazi k vyznamnejsimu sireni prachu, jedovatych latek apod. K teto pozitivni skutecnosti zrejme prispiva i silne zasadite prostredi haldy, ktere pomaha vyplavovani skodlivin branit. Studie, ktere by poskytly presne informace o slozeni nitra haldy a procesech tam probihajicich a pomohly tak odhadovat dalsi vyvoj, vsak nejsou. Pozornost Bustehradska halda opet upoutala v letech 2005 az 2006, kdy jeji provozovatel, firma REAL Leasing Kladno s. r. o., prisla s planem na postupne odtezovani casti haldy a zpracovavani (zejmena ocelarenske strusky) na stavebni a jiny material (proces, ktery by trval 18 let a z verejnych rozpoctu stal 10 az 15 miliard Kc). K realizaci tohoto zameru vsak nedoslo, nebot narazil na rozhodny odpor obyvatel i predstavitelu jak sousednich tak vzdalenejsich obci z okoli, ktere si misto dalsich zasahu do krajiny preji zachovani soucasneho stavu.

Informace o kesi

Jedna se o mensi L&L krabicku. Doporucuji se vydat za kesi pres bod Entry Point. Pro prvni nalezce je v kesi TB, darek a par CWG.

Upozornení

Hned vedle je umisteni kesky je "Brokova strelnice" (veze, boudy ...). Spravce o kesi "vi", ale ferove "kacery" toleruje (snad se nic nezmenilo). Strelnici se ale, prosim, vyhnete! Pokud slysite stelbu, vubec tam nechodte a obecne se zdrzujte minimálne. Prostor je monitorovan (kamera na nejvyssi vezi). Problem je, ze strelnice byla v posledni dobe min. 3x zdevastována vandaly ci sberaci kovu, zvedavci ... Pokud byste tam nekdo videl neco takového (vandaly ....) urcite informujte na c. 602126633 . Je to na oplatku za toleranci teto kese ...(diky MATTeam za informace)

Bustehrad heap (357 m) is a huge artificial terrain boundary between the municipalities of Kladno-Vrapice, Bustehrad and Stehelceves near Kladno in the Central Region that have arisen in the late 20th century as a dumping slag from the Kladno ironworks, and other industrial waste. One of the most massive pile of Kladno, which, particularly when viewed from the northeast, form by far the visible and noticeable part of the landscape in the form of Mesa.

Heap, is situated less than 6 km NE from the center of the Kladno on the right slope of Dretovickeho valley, in places where are the borders of the three municipalities. Most of the heap is based on cadastral municipalities Stehelceves, placed of the NE. Southern part of it is on territory of the city Bustehrad. Both these settlements away from the heap a few hundred steps. Western part of the heap reaches the territory of the city of Kladno, specifically the suburb Vrapice, the rod is directly above the ancient church of St. Nicholas and municipal wastewater treatment plant. Territory, which covers the heap, is approximately 55 hectares and has rectangular in shape, slightly stretched on the south. Dimensions are 800 × 600 m, on a diagonal about 1 100 m. Its height varies depending where is with the surrounding terrain - from the southern side it is a little over 20 meters and on the north heap towering above the valley for nearly 70 m. The main, approximately trapezium body ground plan of the heap in the northwest primyka slightly less salient, at the present time only the active one. And the rest of the body is running, its overall size is not increasing in any way.

The core business of the heap, founded after the second World War II, in the period 50th to 80 of the 20 century. Rail siding, which is connected to Kladno industrial complexes, bridges the local road Vrapice - Buštehrad the southwestern edge of the heap. From this point took place gradually and enlarging body. According to current estimates, the heap contains about 23 to 27 million tons of materials - blast furnace and steelmaking slag and sludge treatment, cogeneration ash, cinders, sludge from wastewater treatment plants. And less were placed there, both free and in barrels, hazardous waste, including lead-containing or cyanide. Public outrage (later supported by the media attention when a popular magazine Mlady Svet/Young World) created in 1988 case where a group of children from surrounding villages climbed on to play on Bustehrad heap poisoned unconsciously. This fact only speeded up the ongoing downturn operation and reclamation of the heap. Late 80 and early 90 years, so most bodies were covered with clay. Man-shouldered green too soon faded, but during the ensuing year, the nature itself and began to advise on the slopes of the heap is becoming too strong. Originally aligned with the surface become slightly curved as a result of different materials placed in heap. Now most cover heaps wild vegetation, gradually trees grows here. The heap is becoming as living place for wild animals, especially hares and pheasants, its role in the surrounding countryside is even compared to nearby natural monument Vinarice mountain.

At present, heap doesn't represent for people around some inconvenience, no more significant spreading of dust, toxins, etc. This positive fact probably contributes strongly alkaline environment heap leaching of pollutants. There are no studies that would provide accurate information about the composition inside the heap, and the ongoing processes there and help predict future activities inside head. Bustehrad Heap got attention again between 2005 and 2006, when its owner, the company REAL Kladno Leasing Ltd., came up with a plan to progressively to extract part of heap and utilize (especially steel plant slag) for construction and other materials (a process will be lasted 18 years and the public purse would be cost 10 to 15 billion czech crowns). Realization of this plan was not started, because resist of residents of not only neighboring the villages.
