About event
Visitors are invited to an expedition for trilobites, enriched with historical attractions about Prague marble, led by paleontologist Štěpán Rak. The route will introduce into the protected area of the Gypsy Park, near Slivenec and Radotín, within the reach of Prague. Štěpán Rak will be carried out by participants where the pink sliven limestone, known as the Slivenec marble, has been mined since the 13th century. For the color balance of the expedition, steps will also lead to places of black limestone mining. If lucky, participants can also find their own trilobite on the way - the Paleozoic Animal, which makes this location considered European significant.
