The region of Mělnicko and Kokořínsko is one of the most picturesque areas of Central Bohemia, offering a harmonious blend of vineyard landscapes, romantic sandstone rock formations, and historical landmarks. The region invites visitors to explore, stay active, or simply relax, appealing to lovers of nature, history, gastronomy, and family trips alike.
At the heart of the region is located Mělník, a town situated above the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers, renowned for its wine-making tradition, historical monuments, and panoramic views of Mount Říp and the České středohoří. The landscape along the Elbe river offers cycle routes, wine trails, cultural heritage sites, and a wide range of regional products rooted in a long agricultural and craft tradition.
In contrast to the open river landscape stands the Kokořínsko - Mácha's country (a landscape protected area (CHKO)) - a land of deep forests, sandstone rock towns, ravines, and romantic castles led by the iconic Kokořín Castle. A dense network of hiking trails, viewpoints, and natural attractions creates ideal conditions for hiking, cycling, rock climbing, and easy family excursions.
Thanks to its excellent accessibility from Prague, diverse year-round activities, and rich cultural programme, Mělnicko and Kokořínsko is an ideal destination for both day trips and longer stays focused on discovering the landscape, history, gastronomy, and relaxed active recreation.
