Nymburk

The Elbe defines the setting of Nymburk — the river’s lowland course has shaped this Central Bohemian town’s riverside life and connections across the fertile Polabí plain. Founded as a royal town in the late 13th century, Nymburk preserves a notable stretch of medieval brick fortifications, with the Water Tower among its recognisable features. The Gothic Church of St Giles rises above the historic centre, while the riverbank adds an open counterpoint to the old streets. Nymburk is also associated with writer Bohumil Hrabal, who spent part of his youth here. Place Nymburk within the Elbe lowlands by browsing webcams in nearby Central Bohemian towns.
