History
Around the year of 500 a group of the Slavs came to the village. The origin of the name is from the Czech word "tis", meaning yew. In the 14th century the Vantenberks usurped an extensive area around Tetschen (Czech: Děčín) and built a stronghold named Šenov. Under the region of knights of Bünau (Czech: Bynov) there was a major economic expansion. In 1554 – 1557 Günter I developed a castle with a Lutheran church, presbytery, school, brewery and the name of the village was changed due to the castle into Schönstein. In 1631 Croatians and Swedes burned all of the objects in Tisá and Schönstein. In 1750 several factories were built, and the city became a cradle of the button industry.
Today the municipal office of Tisá administers two other villages, Ostrov and Rájec. Since 1998 their coat of arms has been represented by three small yew branches.
Nature
Tisá and neighbouring villages are protected by CHKO Labské pískovce (Conservation area of Elbe sandstones). There is a part of an extensive sandstone plateau that originated about 90 million years ago in the Cretaceous Mesozoic period. When the sea covering the northern part of the country retreated, it left layers of sandstone sediments cemented with kaolin, clay and other materials. Of note is Tyssaer Wände (English: Tyssa Walls).
There are 113 registered climbing routes, a number of bicycle or cross-country skiing ways.
