This also looks like something out of Tolkien, but despite the artistic licence, is a real place. The Riesengebirge or Giant Mountains was shared between Germany and Czechoslovakia until 1945, since then between Poland and what is now the Czech Republic, named respectively as
Karkonosze / Krkonoše (same pronuniciation).
As is obvious from the flag, this artwork dates from the period of the Second Reich (1871 - 1919).
