Toulky Za českými čerty – Toufar Pavel (2015)

The world of our ancestors was literally teeming with all sorts of spooky figures, coming to life not only in legends but also in unusual natural formations, in the walls of castle ruins, and often in places of everyday life. Among the most well-known figures was that of the devil or demon. Therefore, let us embark on a journey to some of these devilish places. For example, to the mystery of a mountain that supposedly has vents leading to hell, or to a castle that contains an entrance to hell or even to some kind of jungle world, let us recount the story of a man who made a pact with the devil just like the famous Doctor Faust, discover mysterious stones scattered across the landscape by unruly devils - but above all, let us set out on new wanderings through the Czech countryside with a book in hand. Let us explore many little-known corners of our homeland, enchanting nature, picturesque villages and towns, and also the fates of the people who lived in these places. The new book by prominent author Pavel Toufar is another in the new series of travel guides called Wanderings, which combines a valuable travel advisor with stories summarizing interesting historical facts about the respective areas and human fates.
