Toulovcovy maštale, Nature reserve in Eastern Bohemia, Czech Republic

Toulovcovy maštale is the rock city section of the Maštale nature reserve, about 13 km southwest of Litomyšl between Proseč, Budislav and Příluka. Its walls are Cenomanian glauconitic sandstone, pale grey with ochre patches, cut by horizontal bedding lines and vertical fissures; the upper part bulges into an overhang above a recessed base.

The Maštale Nature Reserve was declared in two steps, by the Svitavy authority on 26 June 1992 and by the Chrudim authority on 1 December 1993, because the area lay in two districts. It covers 1083.6 hectares and is divided into Toulovcovy and Městské maštale. In the early 15th century the knight Vavřinec Toulovec z Třemošné gave the area to the town of Litomyšl and its hospital.

The name refers to the knight Vavřinec Toulovec of Třemošná, who in the early 15th century gave the area to the town of Litomyšl and its hospital; "maštale" means stables or chambers. The reserve is split into Toulovcovy and Městské maštale, and the upper course of the Novohradka with its small tributaries forms its main axis.

The reserve is well-organized with marked hiking paths and cycling routes that guide visitors safely through the terrain. Wearing sturdy footwear is recommended, as trails pass through gorges and across rocky sections.

The reserve is split into two named sections, Toulovcovy and Městské maštale, and its main axis is the upper course of the Novohradka river with its many small tributaries. The ground is mostly glauconitic sandstone from the Cenomanian, and the protected animals include the spotted salamander.
