This church was built in 1789.
Its building was co-funded by the Catholic Church, the Thun family, local citizens and even the Emperor Josef II. himself, who was also present at the laying of the foundation stone in 1779. The emperor’s statue was later added in front of the church. It was removed in 1919.
The organ-loft contains 18th century organs, the instrument of Heinrich Schiffner from 1888. The bell-tower contains two cast-iron bells manufactured in 1922 by Arnold-Kress steelworks in Chabařovice and a small bell from 1859 by František Herold from Litoměřice. There is an angle-shaped font in the church, which originally comes from another church in an abandoned settlement of Schönstein.

The rock town is 99,56 ha
Large and is represented by monumental, up to 30 m high walls oriented southwards into the open land with the view of the Central Bohemian Highlands. Its highest point reaches the elevation of 613 meters for almost one kilometer. Behind these walls there is a labyrinth of rock towers and spikes with honeycombs, rock windows and portals, which create a dense network of narrow passages and gorges with wider areas.
The tourist circuits lead across the Great Walls (Velké skály) and Little Walls (Malé skály). The first circuit leads through the rock town up to the restaurant and the Tourist Cabin (Turistická chata). From there it leads across a rocky range with beautiful vistas into the surrounding lands. Going backwards you can trace your way back to the starting point. You can head out for the small circuit. The trail leads through passages among the rocks to the vistas again and then back to the cabin on the rocky square. The big circuit takes approx. 90 minutes; the small circuit takes approx. 45 minutes. You can also start the long circuit at the entrance to the rocks near the Tourist Cabin.

Originally a Mill Pond
This pond was constructed in the middle of the 18th century as a water cistern for two mills. It used to be called “Mlýnský rybník” (Mill Pond). After the abolishment of the mills in 1965 the pond was reconstructed into a recreation place as a replacement for “Cihlák” pond which was seized by the military. The contemporary name “Kačák” was adopted at that time. Next to the body of water there is a restaurant of the same name, which also underwent a lot of changes.

Another popular place for recreation
A pond established by the knights of Bünau for economic purposes. Due to its area of approx. 4 ha it is the largest pond around. There used to be Schönstein castle here, but it was destroyed during the Thirty Years’ War. This place was busy in the first half of the previous century, as the pond served as a natural swimming pool.
People could rent boats, paddle boats or yachts. There used to be a diving tower, a water slide and a restaurant with funny mushroom-style furniture.
The hotel proprietor, Anton Habel, also offered accommodation here in wooden shacks. The summer restaurant at the Cihlářský Pond was destroyed together with the whole recreation area by the Soviet Army in 1945.

A stone chapel already mapped in 1715.
Because there was no church in such a small village, a chapel, which was first recorded in land-surveyors’ plans opposite the border tavern in 1600, was built. It was used until 1945, when the local residents were displaced.
Since 1951 there used to be a plough and a barbed wire fence with the surrounding buildings torn down. The border zone was canceled in 1967, but the chapel was ransacked - the painting of Virgin Mary and its iron gate was missing. Its reconstruction started later in 2001.
There are two rare linden trees close the chapel, where “Zur Linde” tavern used to stand, which are estimated to be 250-300 years old.
These trees are proclaimed to be natural monuments.

Ostrov - Eiland (450 - 455 m above sea level)
Is a settlement northwards from Tisá. It is located at the end of a long valley called “Bielatal”. Ostrov used to be a local industrial zone of sorts in as early as the 16th and 17th century. There used to be iron-mills, forge shops, saw-mills, grain-mills, and stone pits here, while both the fields and meadows were used for farming.
Nowadays we see that granting a fief, liberties and obligations safeguarded both the commerce and the tax liabilities. In 1706 Countess Marie Adelheid of Thun extended these liberties.
Nowadays, it is a recreation settlement with five ponds. The valley is flanked by sandstone rocks. It is accessible by a road or a tourist trail from the Tourist Cabin (Turistická chata). This destination is sought-after by rock climbers who can find a large number of climbing routes on hard sandstone.

At the boundary stone No. 20/15 used to be mentioned in all historic border logs as a significant reference landmark. It is mentioned even in the oldest know map of the area surrounding Ostrov (Oeder – Zimmermann, 1614 – 1634). It is said that it used to serve as a smugglers’ hideout.
During the period of closed border zone the border guards were trying to fill it up, because they thought that it lead up to Germany. After the border zone was abandoned the rock climbers made it accessible again.

Is located eastwards from Tisá on the highest mesa in Czechia (723 m above sea level). It can offer captivating views of the Lusatian Mountains and the Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland.
Thanks to the thermal lifts around the mesa air currents from as far as the North Sea mix here. Their beneficial effect caused this place to be called “Wind Spa”.
The stone tower was built by Count Fantišek Thun in 1864 according to the plans by architect Hanel. Originally, it served as a triangulation point, but later it served also as an outlook tower. The following year, 1865, a tavern was established here.
This place was the first in our country where they were able to tune in the signal from the Olympics held in Berlin in 1936. The tower was repeatedly reconstructed in 1996 and 2016.

The owner of a velvet manufacture in Libouchec, Friedrich Wilhelm Botschen, had a family crypt built on the hill above the village in 1899 - 1900. The crypt consisted of a secession chapel with a bell-tower. The burial-ground itself was located in its basement.
