Zernoseky
Zernoseky
The village lies on the right bank of the river Labe (Elbe) at an average height of 158m above sea level. The temporal range of settlements is indicated by numerous findings from all pre-historic eras from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. The first records of the name of the village being used come from the foundation charter of the chapter of St. Stephen, given by Spytihnev II. (Zernosech - Sernossiceh terra rusticalis). A written mention of the village is, however, in the "B" section of this charter, dating from the year 1218. The name of the village came about from the type of work of its residents - the cutting of large millstones.
