Velemin: Central Bohemian Highlands - Kaple Kalvárie - Letohrádek Milešov - Milesov u Lovosic

Among the municipalities of the Ústí nad Labem Region, Velemín stands out for its setting beneath Milešovka, the 837-metre summit that is the highest peak of the České středohoří. The village lies within the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area, where volcanic hills rise sharply above fields and settlements in northern Bohemia. A meteorological observatory on Milešovka reflects the mountain’s long-standing importance for weather observation, while marked hiking routes lead to its summit. Velemín is a practical base for exploring the surrounding uplands rather than a resort town. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Velemín and the České středohoří.

The Ore Mountains and the Elbe valley define much of Ústecký kraj - coalfields, fertile river slopes and a major transport route have shaped its industry, agriculture and settlement. Around Most, decades of lignite extraction have altered the basin, with extensive land reclamation continuing alongside active mining. To the north, the region reaches the Elbe Sandstone landscape of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, home to Pravčická brána, a natural sandstone arch. The Elbe also links Ústí nad Labem with Litoměřice and Terezín, whose 18th-century fortress later became a Nazi ghetto and prison during the Second World War.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
