Hromnice

Tucked into the rolling countryside north of Plzeň, Hromnice is a settlement whose character is shaped by the former alum-shale workings at Hromnické jezírko. This small lake, protected as a natural monument, fills an old mining excavation and is known for its markedly acidic water. It gives the locality an unusual geological identity within the Plzeň Region, where fields, woodland and scattered settlements form the wider setting. The site recalls a period when alum shale was extracted here to produce alum, used in dyeing and tanning.
