Jan Cisarovsky contributed to the popularity of the Sulov Rocks by publishing a Guide to the Sulov Rocks near Zilina in Slovakia. The Guide had 32 pages and it was published in 1926. He also promoted the Sulov Rocks by publishing postcards depicting the Tourist House and the Sulov Rocks in 1926, 1934 and 1936.
