Name(s) in local language(s):
Brno-Hády
Huge abandoned limestone quarry on the side of the Hády hill. Limestones are mostly Devonian with some fossils like molluscs, brachiopods and rarely trilobites. On the top level, there are also some Jurassic limestones with ammonites, molluscs, brachiopods and shark teeth.
In Devonian limestones calcite veins are present, sometimes forming vugs with calcite and rarely also quartz crystals. In Jurassic limestone are vugs with rarer calcite, in some places green celadonite occurs.
Hády (424 m above sea level) is a large hill on the northeastern edge of Brno. It is a southwestern island of the Moravian Karst. The very peak with the tower of the radio and television transmitter of the same name lies in the cadastral territory of the village of Kanice, which makes Hády one of the few hills outside Brno that can also be seen from the centre of Brno. The geological subsoil is built of, among others, Devonian (older) and Jurassic (younger) limestones. The entire southwestern slope is strongly marked by earlier limestone mining in several quarries. Today, Hády is an important Brno recreational zone with many extremely valuable natural (geological, botanical and entomological) localities. The landscape northeast of the wall of the Hádek quarry is formed by a forested karst plateau.
