Územie európskeho významu Krasín zaberá výrazný bradlový chrbát nad obcou Dolná Súča. Geologicky je Krasín tvorený prevažne krinoidovými vápencami s výskytom fosílií, napríklad ľalioviek a amonitov. Vďaka veľkému podielu kremitých zŕn v hornine sa tu nevyvinuli korózne tvary, ako sú škrapy, závrty a jaskyne. Menšie podzemné priestory s veľmi slabou sintrovou výzdobou majú puklinový pôvod. Celý chrbát Krasína bol vypreparovaný z okolitých mäkkších flyšových hornín eróznou činnosťou. Pôdny kryt (hlavne rendzinové pôdy) sa vyskytuje len v priehlbniach, na miernejších svahoch a na plochách porastených drevinami. Na odlesnených častiach prevládajú holé skaly a balvanité sute. Vápencový masív leží na nepriepustných slieňoch, takže v okolí sú početné, málo výdatné pramene, občas aj s tvorbou penovca (Traventín). Územie bolo ešte v pomerne nedávnej minulosti (do polovice 20. stor.) využívané ako pasienok pre kozy, hlavne na humóznejších svahoch sa sformoval výmladkový les. V stredoveku tu stál hrad s prevažne drevenou konštrukciou. V polovici dvadsiateho storočia bol v časti situovanej najbližšie k obci otvorený kameňolom, ktorý v súčasnosti postupne zarastá v dôsledku sekundárnej sukcesie. Na odlesnených plochách sa vyvinuli typické porasty skalnej vegetácie viazanej na karbonáty. Z tráv v nich dominuje kostrava valeská (Festuca valesiaca) a kostrava tvrdá (Festuca pallens), vzácnejšie sa vyskytuje šalát trváci (Lactuca perennis). Predovšetkým na sutiach nachádzame najbohatšiu populáciu lúčovky veľkokvetej (Orlaya grandiflora) v regióne. Či je tu pôvodným druhom, však nie je isté. Zo vzácnejších druhov krov tu rastie drieň (Cornus mas). Spolu s ďalšími druhmi krovín (lieska, ruža, svíb, trnka) a dubom plstnatým (Quercus pubescens) vytvárajú parkový charakter časti územia.

Lom sa nachádza v prírodnej rezervácii PR Krasín ,tak sa podľa toho aj správajte,to znamená že je tu zákaz kladenia ohňa,stanovania ako aj zberu kvetov,plodov a nerastov!

Ku keške:

Keška vás privedie na jedno zo zastavení náučného chodníka.Nakoľko je to earthcach tak tu krabičku nehľadajte ale aby ste sa mohli zalogovať bude potrebné zistiť nasledovné

1. Pri tabuli zistite nadmorskú výšku na vašom GPS a priložte aj Foto s lomu

2. Z tabule zistite v ktorom roku vďaka korozívnemu narušeniu brala bola popísaná bohatá fauna z obdobia Jury

3. Vlastnými slovami mi napíš čo je to vrásnenie a ako vzniká

4. Fotografia z miesta EC / pripojiť k logu / - ak nechcete zverejniť svoju tvár, možete ju v logu vygumovať, pomaľovať. Alebo pridajte fotografiu s nejakým svojím osobným predmetom, TB, coinom, ...

Odpovede mi zašlite cez profil na moju emailovú adresu a potom sa zalogujte. Ak budú nezrovnalosti v odpovediach rád vám na ne odpoviem

The cache will bring you to a nature trail near old closed stone-pit, which is a part of the geomorphological whole the White Carpathians. Here you can also see orogeny (folding).

Geology

The area is a part of the „Podbranč-Trenčín“ section of the cliff- zone in the Western Carpathians. It is a part of the side ridge with the total height of 516,2 meters above sea level, which sprawle by southeast into the valley of the river Váh. Krasín mountain is made of the lens of Jurassic crinoid and argillaceous limestones. Area of the Krasín was declared a nature reservation protection grade 4. Here you can find a lot of precious fossils, some of fauna species and also protected calcareous flora; rocks are rich in fossils of Mesozoic cephalopods and daylilies. Thanks to high proportion of siliceous grains in the rocks corrosion shapes like Karrens, sinkholes and caves cannot be developed. Smaller underground spaces with very poor sinter decoration are fissure origin. But there were observed signs of the Karst process, witch were created in the Middle Jura

Geomorphology

Krasín is situated in the geomorphological unit the White Carpathians, in geomorphological subassembly “Bošácke Bradlá”, which are form a ridge between the White Carpathians themselves in the North, and the White Carpathians in Považské podolie. All the volcanic mountain here in Slovakia are of Neogene origin. The volcanic activity occurred on the Western edge of the Carpathians, in the White Carpathians around “Nezdenícka brázda”. In contrast with older volcanic activity in the Czech Republic lava wasn´t pouring out on the ground, but it was hardening under it. It was penetrating to the space between the layers of the mountain and it was making veins made by andesite and basalt. In the cut, we could see a tree-like structure. When the magma contacts the deposits,they were converted , sandstone removed and then volcanic came up to the surface or just under it. It forms more significant peaks (Ramparts) or less significant kicks (Banov). Development of the construction required increased needs for building stone and that´s the reason why the stone-pits were opened.

The opening of stone-pits started at the beginning of the 20th century, mining boom began due to bridge construction to Trenčín during WWII. After that mining declined and was finished in1960. Many other remote pits where left to natural development, a lot of them were flooded and a lot of interesting habitats with precious plants and animals have ben created. Accessible pits were changed to legal or illegal dumps, nowadays reclaimed. Pits became deposits of rocks and minerals, for example: amphibole, porcelain, olivine, limonite, radiolite, some of the finds were first discovered in Slovakia. Hikers and campers come to those pits because of the romantic rock scenes . Some of the pits have been declared a natural monument..

Radiolite

Territory of European interest, Krasín mountain occupies significant barrier ridge above the village Dolná Súča. In geological way, Krasín is made of crinoid limestones with high rate of fossils, for example daylilies and ammonites. Whole ridge of the Krasín mountain have been sanitized from the surrounding of the softer flysch rocks by erosion process. Soil cover appears only in depressions, in the middle slopes and in the areas covered by trees. On the deforested areas are dominates rocks and boulder debris. Limestone massif lies on the impermeable marl, so in the surrounding are numerous, little abundant springs, and sometimes with the formation of tufa (travertine). The area was in the recent past (till the mid-20th century) used as a pastury for a goats, especially on the slopes have been formulated coppice forest. In the Middle Ages here was a castle with mostly wooden construction. In the mid-20th century was a part of the village situated very most close to the pit, which is now gradually overgrowing due to secondary succession. On the deforested areas have been developed typical rock vegetation bounded to carbonates. There occurs also fescue (Festuca valesiaca) and fescue hard (Festuca pallens), more rarely there occurs salad ryegrass (Lactuca perennis). We can found here very mainly affluent population of “Ľúčovka veľkokvetá” (Orlaya grandiflora) in the region. From the rare species of dogwood shrubs grows here. Along with the others kinds of bushes (hazel, rose, blackthorn) and oak (Quercus pubescens) creates a park nature area.

To the cache:

The cache will bring you to one of the stops of the educational chodníka.Nakoľko it earthcom so that box but do not seek to be able to log in using the following will be necessary to

1.Using your GPS, find out what the altitude is by the information board. Enclose a photo of yourself and the quarry.

2.The information board tells you in which year the rich fauna from the Jurrasic era was described owing to the corrosive erosion of the rock. When was that?

3. Describe in your own words what it is folding and what causes it.

4. Required - EC Photo / Join Logo / - If you don't want to publish your face, you can erase it in the logo, paint it. Or add a photo with your personal subject, TB, coin, ...
