Around Mělník there is a really nice cycle path without much climbing and with a smooth surface. Ideal for children and the elderly 👍🙋🏼

Once again a great stretch of cycle path along the Vltava. Best asphalt meets a great area.

The parish church of St. Ägidius was built in 1762 on the site of a Gothic church, which was already mentioned as a parish church in 1344 and was destroyed in the great fire of Lusatia in 1760. Source and further information: Wikipedia

The cycle path here is beautifully newly constructed. However, the further course northwest via Tuhan to Kly is still quite adventurous for road bikes (as of August 25).

A wonderful section of the Elbe Cycle Route, newly built, and a great ride. The entry point in Melnik is a bit steep. Unfortunately, the section from Kly to the southeast, all the way to the Elbe, is still in poor condition.

Veltrusy – the history of the castle, the park and the Chotek family. It is surrounded by a sea of green leaves, the Vltava's shimmer of the sun, hop fields and paths of fate. It remains as its builders and the stormy nature wished it to be. It is an oasis of our soul, an escape to paradise and a mirror of society. Let yourself be blown away to the Veltrusy island and taste.....

Václav Antonín Chotek had his seasonal residence built at the beginning of the 18th century and it represents an important work of the high Baroque. The author of the design was probably Giovanni Battista Alliprandi, an architect of Italian origin who worked in Bohemia. The castle consists of a main building with a higher cylindrical core, from which four one-story wings extend. On the north side there is a monumental two-flight staircase with a sculpture group. The courtyard is then finished on the north with a series of allegorical sculptures from the workshop of Matyáš Bernard Braun. In the interiors you will see decorations and furnishings mainly in the Baroque and Rococo style. Around the castle there is a large English park with a number of romantic small buildings and sculptures, which was created at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. You can see the castle as part of one of the sightseeing tours that will introduce you to the life of the nobility or to the stay here of General Laudon during the so-called Potato War of 1778.

Hořín is a Baroque chateau with farm grounds in the municipality of the same name in the Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region. The chateau is surrounded by a large chateau park of approximately 10 hectares. The chateau, along with the grounds and the chateau park, are protected as a cultural monument. After the Velvet Revolution, the chateau and the surrounding land were restituted by the Lobkowicz family of Mělník. In 2024, Jiří Lobkowicz sold the chateau.
