Near the village of Želízy there are various artistic creations of the sculptor Václav Levy. Just above the village of Želízy, the massive Devil's heads carved into the sandstone rock in the first half of the 19th century look down on you. The heads are about 9 meters high and you can climb them from the back and look around, or eat a snack at the top.
In the same period, other sculptures by Václav Levy were created in this region. While walking along the blue tourist trail, you will come across Hada or Harfenica. The snake is very visible as it winds around the sandstone rock. The harpist is a little harder to see, but if you look closely, you can see the strings of her harp. Closer to the village of Liběchov is the Klácelka cave and in front of it are statues of Jan Žižka, Prokop Holé and dwarves forging armor for the Blanica knights.
You can visit all of these wonderful sights during the family walking circuit from Liběchov. The blue tourist sign will take you first to the Klácelka cave, the Devil's Heads, Hadov and Harfenica and back to Liběchov.
