A remarkable group of rock formations, deep canyon valleys, rock-cities, caves, and even individual rocks named according to what they look like (Columbus Egg, Plated Boat, etc.). The entire territory is interlaced with a dense network of marked hiking trails; visitors can even refresh themselves from numerous natural springs. According to legend the marauding knight Toulovec hid here ages ago, but hikers need no longer fear today and can even boldly visit his dwelling.

More detail about the object:

The magic of deep forests, sandstone cliffs and mysterious corners will enchant you for sure. For hundreds of years, the rustling in the treetops seems to be telling the story of the marauding knight, Toulovec, to whom the local rock formations and gorges used to provide refuge and shelter.

Today the largest nature reserve of the Pardubice Region near Proseč will let you enjoy calm moments far away from everyday hustle and bustle. At the same time, you can admire the magic of nature which created the rock formations called Kolumbovo vejce (The Egg of Columbus), Oslí chodba (the Donkey Corridor), Kostelíček (the Little Church), Panský stůl (the Noblemen's Table) and many others. Wandering in search of adventure will be made easy thanks to the tourist marks as well as by the network of bike trails with special markings to be especially appreciated by the fans of mountain biking.

The nearby Pivnická rokle (Pivnická Gorge) is located a bit aside from the marked trails, however it still attracts the interest of lovers of pure nature. The path along the natural monument near Zderaz is lined with rock overhangs, tunnels and caves. Climbing among the rock formations on wooden ladders belongs to the most interesting parts of the gorge, sometimes called Žižkovy maštale (Žižka's Stables).

And if you want to broaden your experiences by seeing the landscape of Toulovcovy maštale from a bird's eye view, visit one of the three local lookout towers - Terezka on Paseky by Proseč, Borůvka by Hluboká or Toulovec's Observation Tower on Jarošovský Hill.
