Until then people built roads and houses from the stone that could be found freely scattered in the landscape. But then a&nbsp;need arose and wall or open pit stone quarries were established in Svojetice, Srb\u00edn, Tehovec, Lou\u0148ovice, \u017dernovka or Babice. Many of them have been preserved to this day. Holidaymakers, weekenders and locals used the quarries as outdoor swimming pools in the course of the 20th century. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 most of the quarries were sold to private hands. The only active quarry in the area is an open pit quarry Horka in \u017dernovka (presented in part 2), which will be the first stop in our excursion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:27px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Biotitic granite, also called the \u0158\u00ed\u010dany granite, was and still is used as a&nbsp;decorative and building stone, as evidenced by the resplendent pseudo-Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Muka\u0159ov from the late 19th century (<strong>part 3<\/strong>). The life and work of stonemasons in the region are presented on a&nbsp;25 km nature trail \u201cIn the stonemasons\u2019 footsteps\u201d, which features 13 stops. The first stop is an open air museum in Lou\u0148ovice (<strong>part 4<\/strong>), the next stop is Kam\u00e9nka (<strong>part 5<\/strong>), where one of the foundation stones of the National Theatre in Prague comes from. Near Kam\u00e9nka there a&nbsp;monitoring station of the Lesn\u00ed potok (Forest Stream) basin (<strong>part 6<\/strong>). Our last stop will be a&nbsp;cemetery in Alda\u0161\u00edn near Jevany about 10 km from Lou\u0148ovice. We will examine tombstones made of different kinds of rocks and with different kinds of finish, and we will talk about several notable people who have found their final resting place there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remembering Franti\u0161ek V. Holub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When tracing the history of stonemasonry in the \u0158\u00ed\u010dany Region, we must remember Franti\u0161ek V. Holub. He was born on 25 October 1949 in P\u00edsek. He studied petrography at the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, and he completed his studies in 1973 with his thesis \u201cInclusions in Durbachites and Some Questions on the Genesis of Durbachites\u201d. In 1974 he started teaching at the Faculty of Science, first as an assistant, then lecturer and finally a&nbsp;senior lecturer at the Department of Petrology, then later at the Institute of Petrology and Structural Geology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his research Holub always focused on the \u010certovo b\u0159emeno (Devil\u2019s burden) durbachites found in the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex. In later years his area of interest expanded to other melanocratic granitoids high in potassium that are found in the southern part of the crystalline complex of the Czech Massif, xenoites and their veins (lamproid magmatism). Holub had his thesis published in the renowned Tschermaks mineralogische und petrographische Mitteilungen in Vienna. Later he made an impression with a&nbsp;study co-authored with V. \u017de\u017eulkov\u00e1 on the relative age of intrusive rocks of the Central Bohemian Pluton in the Zv\u00edkov Region, i.e. in the southern part of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex, based on observations of rocky outcrops near the Orl\u00edk Reservoir on the Vltava River, which proved the relations to be more complex than previously thought. Holub also studied the synthesis of the Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex and the magnetism of moldanubianum, ultra-potassium rocks in the bedrock of the Bohemian Cerateous Basin, neovolcanic rocks in the Central Bohemian Uplands and Doupov Mountains, and magmatites in general in other parts of the Bohemian Massif. He studied volcanic rocks in various geotectonic environments abroad, e.g. in Nicaragua and James Ross Island in Antarctica. Franti\u0161ek V. Holub was a&nbsp;member of the Czechoslovak Society for Mineralogy and Geology, and later of the Czech Geological Survey. He died on 20 July 2015 in Prague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For World of Stone provided by authors:<br>Barbora Dud\u00edkov\u00e1 Schulmannov\u00e1, Vojt\u011bch Janou\u0161ek, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Navr\u00e1til, <br>V\u00e1clav Ryba\u0159\u00edk and Pavel Vla\u0161\u00edmsk\u00fd<br>Photo:<strong> <\/strong>Photo: V.
