The best MTB trails around Mělník

Great church. A visit to the church is also worthwhile.

Only some of the basic walls on which the never-completed chateau was built have survived from the castle in Chvatěruby. The main core today consists of a rectangular Renaissance palace building, which contains a Gothic wall at the cellar level. The palace is then connected to the unfinished Baroque chateau wings. On the site of the current chateau ruins, there was originally a yeoman's fortress. At the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, the fortress was rebuilt into a chateau by the Zajícs of Hazmburk. On the southern side, they fortified it with a rounded bastion (today house no. 6) and a deep ditch, which was also carved into the rock on the eastern side.

The castle was probably built here in the 14th century. In the 16th century it was rebuilt into a Renaissance chateau. Kryštof Karel Voračický from Paběnice began to rebuild the chateau in the Baroque style in 1699, but due to lack of funds he never completed the reconstruction. In the 19th century the building was already in disrepair. Today it is privately owned.

The city of Mělník is certainly symbolized by the silhouette of the castle with the church of St. Peter and Paul towering above the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers. This beautiful view is offered to us immediately as soon as we arrive in the city after less than 40 minutes from Prague. In Mělník we can drink good local wine, walk through the historical center or go on a boat trip. Whatever we choose, Mělník is a city where we will always be happy to return.

Mělník (German: Melnik, Mnelnik) is a town and municipality with extended jurisdiction in Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region, thirty kilometers north of Prague. It is located on the right bank of the Elbe at the confluence with the Vltava, the historic center is located on a marl hill surrounded by the Pšovka stream from the northeast. The city has a population of approximately 20 thousand.

Not necessarily recommended as a continuation of the cycle path to Prague. The scenery is beautiful, but not so easy with regular bikes and panniers, especially when it's wet and slippery. The original cycle path via Vodochody - Drasty - Klecany does include 100 meters of elevation gain, but this is easily manageable on a good road.

A special place in the forest, it is said that pregnant women and women who recently gave birth come here to honor the saint by leaving flowers, candles, and teddy bears at the foot of the state. A place that we love very much in our vicinity, there are tables to stop by and sit / picnic nearby.
