The terrain of the Central Bohemian Region ranges from fertile Elbe lowlands in the north to wooded uplands in the south, creating a varied setting of rivers, farmland and old towns. The Vltava crosses the region before joining the Elbe at Mělník, while the countryside around Prague has long supplied and connected the capital. Karlštejn Castle, founded by Charles IV in 1348, recalls the medieval importance of this area; Kutná Hora preserves the legacy of silver mining that once ranked among the kingdom’s key sources of wealth. Roads, railways and river valleys still make Central Bohemia the country’s geographic core. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of central Czechia connects regionally.
