Tisůvka

summit · 804 m · Žďárské vrchy

A ridge summit of the Žďárské vrchy (804 m) crowned by the Čertův kámen — a 58-metre-long, 15-metre-high rock wall split by a narrow gorge, a natural monument west of Cikháj.

Tisůvka is one of the summits of the central Žďárské vrchy ridge, a kilometre west of Cikháj, and its point is the rock on top: the Čertův kámen (Devil’s Stone), a weathered gneiss wall 58 metres long and up to 15 metres high, split through by a narrow rocky cleft. The formation is a protected natural monument, and the local legend has the devil dropping the stone here mid-flight. An educational trail along the ridge links it with Žákova hora and the springs of the Svratka.
