Mining activity at Pustina near the Míšovice village (Znojmo region)
Roštínský, Pavel ; Dokoupilová, P. ; Šmerda, J.
During the geomorphological mapping in the crystalline area of the Miroslav Horst, there were a small depression pit found out by P. Roštínský near the Míšovice village in the Znojmo region in the spring season 2006, leading to as yet unknown underground spaces. On the basis of detailed research in the wider surroundings of this pit and subsequent documentation of accessible underground galleries, it were determined that an old, as yet unrecognized mine were located on the western forested slope of the Pustina elevation. Some other entries to the underground realm, dikes and stepped terraces originated by removal of dig material and additional small pits were detected within the whole, more then one hectare-sized area. On grounds of analysed samples, there were a preliminary assumption pronounced that the underground galleries and surface landforms came to existence in connection to a prospection, especially to mining of graphite and iron ore.
