Melnik

Built around a hilltop above the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava, Mělník grew into a historic Bohemian wine town. It occupies a strategic bluff where two of Czechia’s great rivers meet, with lowland country stretching north along the Elbe. Mělník was once a royal dowry town assigned to queens of Bohemia, and its château stands on the site of an earlier castle. Vineyards remain central to the town’s identity; Emperor Charles IV promoted viticulture in Bohemia during the 14th century. The Church of Saints Peter and Paul, beside the château, anchors the old centre. Browse additional webcams from the Elbe–Vltava confluence to extend your view of central Bohemia.
