The Villa of Greta and Fritz Tugendhat, designed by the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and built in 1929–1930, is a monument of modern architecture, and is the only example of modern architecture in the Czech Republic inscribed in the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. Between 2010 and 2012 the Villa Tugendhat underwent renovation and restoration work, during which both the structure and the adjoining gardens were restored to their original appearance following the completion of the Villa in 1930. The interiors have been equipped with exact replicas of the original furnishings. The technical equipment for the Villa (the air technology rooms, the boiler room, the engine room for the retractable windows, the so-called ”moth” room) was restored in the basement and is newly accessible to the public as part of the guided tours. This area also houses an exhibition presenting the architect, the owners and the family life in the Villa up to 1938 when the Tugendhats were forced to emigrate in connection with the threat of World War II. Visitors can also now enjoy the bookshop. Conference dinner (25th September 2020) Dinner in the typical south Moravian wine cellar with wine tasting. Brno guided tour with brewery visit (26th September 2020) Brno historical centre, Špilberk Castle, Casemate Špilberk Castle was established in the 13th century by Přemysl Otakar II to protect both the Czech lands and the town of Brno. An occasional residence of Moravian margraves, the castle became a huge military fortress in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1783, as decreed by Emperor Joseph II, it was transformed into a jail for serious criminals and soon also for political prisoners from countries throughout the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Špilberk was known as the harshest jail in Europe. Its famous prisoners included Italian Carbonari, notably poet Silvio Pellico, and Václav Babinský, the famous Czech bandit. After 1855, the castle served as military barracks. During both world wars, the castle again functioned as a jail, as first opponents of the Austrian regime and later Czech patriots during the Nazi occupation were imprisoned there. In 1962, Špilberk was added to the National Cultural Heritage list. The castle walls offer an amazing view of Brno. The castle also serves as a cultural centre, housing Muzeum města Brna (the Brno City Museum). Concerts, theatrical performances, and festivals are often held there. The castle’s large interior courtyard holds a fifteen- bell carillon, a lookout in the corner tower, and the Baroque Holy Trinity chapel. The Špilberk casemates are a popular place for tourists. Their vaulted passages are rich with romantic as well as terrifying legends. Conference excursion – Moravian Karst, Punkva Caves, Macocha Abyss (27th September 2020) Moravský Kras is the largest and the most important karst area in the Czech Republic. The karst area consists of Devon limestone lying northward from Brno. The landscape character is formed by plateaus with many sinkholes separated by deep canyon grooves. Most of the water flow coming from the non-karstified part of the Drahanská uplands vanishes underground where the limestone area begins. The water-flow created various cave labyrinths here during the long geological evolution. The northern part of Moravský Kras is drained by the Punkva River and its tributaries. The Amatérská cave complex is to be found here, stretching for almost 35 km when contiguous caves are included, making it one of the largest cave systems in Europe. In the central part of Moravský Kras, Rudické sinking-Býčí rock is the main cave system, which is 12 km long. Ochozská cave, 2 km long, is the most famous cave in the southern part of the area. In total there are more than 1,100 caves in Moravský Kras. In most of them, traces of ancient life and social development have been conserved. Inside Kůlna cave there is evidence of the most ancient settlement ever discovered in Moravský Kras, that of Neanderthal man 120,000 years ago. Discoveries of engravings of horses and bison in Pekárna cave are also remarkable. They were made by horse and reindeer hunters and they are estimated to be from 11,000 to 13,000 years old. The caves are also the main tourism attraction. The following caves are open to the public: Punkevní, Kateřinská, Balcarka and Sloupsko- šošůvské. About 400,000 people visit them every year. Unique fauna and flora occur here due to the bedrock, broken terrain and the location on the border between the Panonian and Hercynian biogeographical regions. Cave fauna is remarkable. The most famous are bats, of which 21 species have been discovered till now. There are also numerous invertebrates living in the Moravský Kras caves that are perfectly adapted to life in total darkness. Some new, previously unknown species have been found here. As for critically endangered plants, Cortusa matthioli (Matthioli’s cortuse), a glacial relict, grows on Macocha gorge rock wall. It does not grow anywhere else in the Czech Republic. The structure of forests is mostly indigenous and they cover almost 60% of the area. Payment: All fees will be paid by registration desk by cash.

  • Archaeology and Art: the Relationship of Karel Absolon (1877–1960) and Czechoslovak Artists in the Period Between the World Wars*
    Archaeology and Art: the Relationship of Karel Absolon (1877–1960) and Czechoslovak Artists in the Period Between the World Wars* Petr Kostrhun Centre of Cultural Anthropology, Moravian Museum, Zelný trh 6, Brno, Czech republic. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The article in the introductory section maps the connection of the production of the leading Czech artists in the services of archaeology from the middle of the 19th century and their role with the national emancipation before World War I. The main part of the text comes from a source study of the archive of Karel Absolon, who was one of the central personalities in the fields of archaeology and speleology in Czechoslovakia in the interwar period. Absolon’s scientific activities aroused interest with a number of Czech painters, men of letters, photographers, filmmakers and philosophers, who reflected on the results of archaeological research both in cooperation with Karel Absolon and in their own artistic production. Keywords: history of archaeology, Czech archaeology, Karel Absolon, artistic production Cooperation of Czech archaeologists and artists the first in Bohemia in the selection of painting themes from the earliest history and legends used an inventory Archaeology and Art – the connection of two human from real archaeological finds. However, Hellich felt activities, which thanks to the significant imaginative himself to be first of all a painter and therefore suddenly powers of both fields was very strong particularly left the National Museum already in 1846 and devoted in the past. We can follow with certainty the need of himself to an artistic career in Vienna and especially in reflection of one’s own past in art, which drew from Prague, where he became famous as a portrait painter archaeological finds and knowledge, from the time of and as the president of the Artistic Department of the the Renaissance (Barkan 2001).

Abstract: Barová Cave is located in the central part of the Moravian Karst (the Czech Republic), on the right slope of Josefovské Valley; it is the outfl ow part of Rudické propadání (Rudice Sink) – Býčí skála (Bull Rock) cave system. Even since its discovery by A. Sobol in 1947, Barová Cave has been known as important palaeontological site, with well-preserved fauna of the Late Pleistocene. In the summer of 2011, a landslide of sediments revealed yet unexamined fossiliferous positions, and started the current research activity. There were discovered skeletal remains of these 21 taxa of vertebrates between 2011 – 2017 in Barová Cave: bear from the cave bear group (Ursus ex gr. spelaeus), cave lion (Panthera spelaea), wolf (Canis lupus), cave hyena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea), brown bear (Ursus arctos), lynx (Lynx lynx), wolverine (Gulo gulo), fox, probably red (Vulpes cf.

  • Additional Material Ecosystem Services Hydrological Values: the Hydrography and Hydrology of the Site Differ Substantially From
    Ramsar Site: 1413 - Punkva subterranean stream Ramsar Information Sheet March 2004 Additional material Ecosystem services Hydrological values: The hydrography and hydrology of the site differ substantially from those of the surrounding area. Streams originating in non-karst area of Drahanská Uplands sink below the ground immediately after entering the limestone area. Hydrography and hydrology of the area is rather complicated - some sinks and springs function depending on the water dynamics, subterranean streams cross each other at differing levels, a sink may become a spring and vice versa, etc. Surface streams are almost non-existent, subterranean streams and their catchments do not correspond with the surface relief. In the area of sinkholes, valleys with abrupt dead-ends, or partially so, have been created and streams are periodical. This karst area has its own, mainly subterranean, hydrographic systems with single erosion base being the drainage system of the Punkva stream. Detailed hydrology of the area is highly complicated and not yet fully understood. Sloupský potok and Bílá voda streams are the sources for the Punkva stream, that has a catchment area of 170 km2 and average discharge of 0.96 m3.s-1. Before reaching a cave, the waters of Sloupský stream, during the period of low water level, disappear down about 20 sinkholes or infiltrate into the bottom substrate at the time of low water discharge. Thus, part of the stream is periodical. The stream disappears finally underground at Staré skály (rocks) near Sloupsko-šošůvské Caves. At a depth of 70-100m it creates the Sloupský corridor that belongs to the Amateur Cave complex.

These cave precipitates provide various proxy data (e.g. stable isotopes, minor and trace elements or grow laminae) about paleoenvironment. To better under- stand the interrelationship between proxies and environment, an investigation of recent karst processes is important. A dripwater hydrogeochemistry and cave PCO2 were studied in the dry part of Punkva Caves (Moravian Karst).

The effect of door opening differed with cave ventilation modes. Under upward airflow mode, the cave door opening led to the increase of output advective CO2 fluxes from the cave and to the decrease of CO2 levels. This effect was evident especially in the Entrance Chamber near the cave entrance and then suppressed in the Gallery Chamber situated deeper in the cave. Under the downward airflow mode, the cave door opening changed airflow paths and main CO2 sources/fluxes. This resulted in the increase of CO2 level in the Entrance Chamber while the levels in the Gallery Chamber decrease. Modeling indicates that the increase could -2 -1 be result of input advective CO2 fluxes from epikarst (up to 5.9 × 10 mol s ). To reduce the impact on cave microclimate, a careful control of the visiting regime without overlapping of individual doors’ openings is recommended.
