[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On the edge of the Labské sandstones in the village Tisá where you can find a picturesque sandstone town. While walking through this town you will be surprised by the bizarre shapes of the rocks that will remind you of faces, animals and other things. Let your fantasy flow in this rocky empire. Enjoy the beautiful contrast between the blue sky and the earth, covered with sand and sandstone colored brown, yellow and sometimes even white. The area used to be accessible only with a guide but nowadays you can get there on your own following marked paths.
In the 19th century it used to be a messy labyrinth of rocks that no one visited. There was a story about a French nobleman, Leduquin, and bad cruel dwarves told about this place so that people would hire guides. The prohibition of the entrance without a guide was cancelled in 1918. These days you do not have to be afraid, no bad and cruel dwarves live there anymore.
