The town of Horice is located on the south slope of the Horice Ridge. This wooded range is often regarded as the southernmost tip of the Bohemia’s Giant Mountains (Krkonoše, Ger. Riesengebirge) and actually forms a divide separating the warmer fertile Labe (Elbe) Plain in the south and the climatically harsher piedmont foothills in the north. The range stretching for some 20 kilometres in the east-west direction is formed by the area’s most valuable natural resource which is high quality sandstone suitable both for masonry and sculpture.
