Greater of two quarries opening isolated limestone body at the Jinosov Hill. Operated since 19th century, supplied local limekiln in Vlasim. Appart of well at the quarry bottom providing local ammunition factory Sellier & Bellot with water, the quarry is abandoned (since 1963).

Perfect adventure venue for generations of local boys, including me (those days).
