Two rivers meet at Mělník. The Vltava joins the Labe (Elbe) just below the town, and from the terrace of the Mělník château the confluence is visible across a broad floodplain that has been planted with grapevines since at least the 10th century. Charles IV ordered Burgundy vines brought here in the 14th century to improve the local wine production, and the tradition survives in small vineyards that cover the south-facing slopes beneath the château walls.
About 19,200 people live in Mělník, which occupies a promontory above the river junction roughly 30 kilometres north of Prague. The château itself, still partly owned by the Lobkowicz family, houses a wine museum and regional art collection. Below the château, the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul contains an ossuary holding the remains of an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 people, stacked in the crypt with some skulls and bones arranged in patterns.
Reviewed companion profiles for the Mělník area appear on escortservice.com. The directory does not mediate, arrange, or provide any services between parties. Hotels on the main square (náměstí Míru) and guesthouses along the river road toward Liběchov serve visitors.
The Kokořínsko Protected Landscape Area begins east of Mělník, where sandstone valleys, rock formations, and mixed forests create a landscape distinct from the flat agricultural land west of town. Hiking routes lead through narrow gorges to the Kokořín castle ruins, reachable in about an hour's drive from the town centre.
Bus and rail connections reach Prague in under an hour. Mělník's grape harvest festival in September draws visitors from the capital and surrounding region. All users of the escortservice.com directory must be at least 18 years old.
