Mělník District

Mělník District is an administrative division in the Central Bohemian Region that spans across land encompassing 69 municipalities between the Elbe and Vltava rivers at their confluence. The area is shaped by these two major waterways that define its geography and provide natural borders.

The territory was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia until 1918, when it became a modern administrative unit following World War I. This transformation marked the shift to a new political structure in the newly formed Czechoslovakia.

The area is home to notable structures like Kokořín Castle and Veltrusy Mansion, which display different architectural styles from various periods. These buildings shape the local landscape and reflect the region's artistic development over time.

Three main towns serve as administrative centers: Mělník, Kralupy nad Vltavou, and Neratovice, providing services to around 114,000 residents. Visitors can use these towns as starting points to explore the district and its attractions.

The landscape transitions from flat Polabí lowlands to forested hills in the north, with the highest point at Vrátenská hora. This geological variety creates different environments and visual impressions across a relatively compact area.
