Here one realizes how helpless he is in these places. Landslides are everywhere and some enthusiasts are trying to dig them through again. That's why these pathways are so dangerous.

The short story deals with the fact that whoever rings the bell can meet Hagen. It is located at the crossroads, where one of the galleries rises. The Muggles and other workers here rang and indicated that they had the hunts ready to be filled.

Hagen once opened his gates
There are probably no more well-known quarries than Quarries of America. Everyone has heard of them at least once or seen them in movies. There are a lot of myths and stories about them. Today we will look at the places where the German soldier Hans Hagen, whose spirit is still present here, hid. There are several ways to get to Little America. After an agreement with the company Lomy Mořina, where one pays for a tour and sees 1/5 of the complex or illegally. This happens so that the mighty Hagen opens the gate from one of the galleries. This time it happened on Pusťák. How can this happen? Simply. Tramps are constantly fighting with Lomy Mořina. It's a cat and mouse hunt. The Mořina quarries try to prevent public entry and cleverly install equipment to discourage entry. Persevering hikers here and there from time to time can destroy these barriers and allow the public to see people for a week or 10 days before Lomy Mořina repairs it. There are many of these destroyed tramp entrance gates in the galleries. The gallery complex is ingenious, connected to the surrounding quarries and measures several kilometers. Going here alone or with someone who has never been here is very dangerous. That's why it's best to go with someone who knows here. The galleries often turn into a maze in the dark. Somewhere you can see big landslides and somewhere you can see that it is starting to fall. It is very dangerous to be in these areas. Some enthusiasts try to dig them, melt the scaffolding and kick, but when you see the scaffolding bend, it's only a matter of time before it rolls over again. There is no mobile signal, so caution comes first. After going through the galleries, you get to Little America, where the legendary Hagen's gong with a well is. Several legends are translated here. This gong, however, served the local workers. Because one of the galleries goes uphill and can't be seen down, the bell rang here, giving it a signal upstairs. Seeing the beauty and color of the galleries is wonderful. One experiences a great adventure here. But you have to be careful.
