Tyssaer Wände, Natural monument in Tisá, Czech Republic
Tyssaer Wände is an extensive sandstone rock formation with numerous towers, passages, and platforms near Tisá. The structure consists of two main sections known as the Large and Small Walls, each with distinct pathways and scenic viewpoints.
The sandstone formations originated approximately 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous period when the area was covered by an ancient sea. Over time, erosion carved out the towers and passages that visitors see today.
The rock formations received individual names from early climbers and tourists, a tradition that shaped how people talk about this place. Visitors still use these historical names when exploring the different sections and distinctive towers.
The site has marked trails through both the Large and Small Walls sections, with educational stops providing information along the way. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the paths traverse rocky and uneven terrain.
The sandstone formations served as a filming location for scenes in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This connection to the well-known fantasy film brings an unexpected layer of interest for many visitors.
