The Tiské stěny (Tyša Walls) are an impressive rock formation in the Czech Republic, a tourist attraction in Bohemian Switzerland and the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The area near the town of Tisá (Tyssa) consists of high sandstone cliffs and is a labyrinth of towers, cliffs, and caves formed by erosion. It is a popular destination for hiking and climbing, offering two main areas, the Great and Small Tyša Walls, through which marked trails lead.
