Culture and History
The Muzeum Vápenka is located in Zone I of Krkonoše National Park in the Horní Albeřice district. It is housed in an octagonal stone tower of a shaft lime kiln dating from the 19th century and presents seven centuries of life in the Albeřice Valley through short stories and extensive visual material.
The keys to the Muzeum Vápenka exhibition can be borrowed daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the reception desk of Penzion Vápenka, Horní Albeřice 13. Admission to the exhibition is free.
Horní Albeřice is one of the oldest settlements in the Krkonoše Mountains; the village was first mentioned as early as the end of the 13th century. It is the only place in the Krkonoše Mountains where the so-called strip farming system has been preserved. In the 19th century, limestone mining and lime burning in Horní Albeřice made a significant contribution to local livelihoods.
Nature
The Albeřické lomy quarries provide a habitat for protected calcicolous plants and animals. Bishop's Quarry is a deep open-pit mine where the temperature remains around 7 °C even in summer. Albeřická Cave contains an underground lake approximately 15 metres deep.
