Tisícový kámen, Rock shelter cave in Tuhaň, Czech Republic

Tisícový kámen is a sandstone rock shelter in the Tuhaň area, stretching roughly 30 meters long with a ceiling reaching up to 8 meters high. The rock face displays honeycomb patterns and erosion marks carved by water and weathering over time.

The name Tisícový kámen (Thousand Stone) is linked to the Thirty Years' War and the Counter-Reformation, when refugees from nearby villages are thought to have hidden under this overhang. In peacetime it sheltered herders from bad weather, and in the 20th century tramps used it as a bivouac.

A marked spur off the green hiking trail, which runs below Vlhošť past sites such as Stříbrný vrch, Husa and Kostelecké bory, leads to the shelter; the spur first passes the larger Krápník overhang. Road 260 from Úštěk to Tuhaň lies about 3 km west, and the Blíževedly railway station is nearly 9 km away on forest paths.
