Beautiful river, with stunning bridges. The swans converge and dot the water, swimming in and out and around the boats. The river banks are framed with colourful old buildings and castles. It’s like walking backwards into an ancient past. Easy walking access to tourist attractions and beautiful plazas with old time shoppes. A beautiful place to visit.
Looks nice enough. Don't remember it

The place has an unmistakable spirit. Drahomira's (mother of St.Wenceslaus) supposed place of origin offers spectacular views towards Prague, hill of Rip and obviously the nearby spot where rivers of Moldau an Elbe blend. Enjoy the castle and the spectacular diagonal lane to the river. 9
The lady who manages the castle visits called us from outside and asked us if we wanted to visit the castle (she only knew two words of English, so communicating was difficult), after paying for the tickets (she only accepts cash) she shows us the stairs and gives us a flyer with some information on the (few) rooms of the castle. In one of the first rooms we meet a group of visitors with a guide who spoke Czech, the room was very small so we tried to reach the next one but got yelled at by the lady, she does not speak English and continues to speak in her language towards us, we try to explain to her that we don't understand a single thing she is saying but she continues to shake her head, in the end one of the visitors knew some English and told us that we couldn’t visit the castle without a guide to supervise us, so we were forced to stay in these small rooms with a group of twenty people listening to a guide who didn't speak our language, there is nothing more stupid... it was not possible to take photos and there are only seven rooms (and they don't even look like royal rooms, you can see that the rooms have been renovated several times in recent years), the city is nice for a walk but being not very touristy, even the locals are not predisposed to foreigners.
Privately owned and one isn't allowed to take photos inside. Guided tour takes one hour.
Located in spectacular place. It was also symbolic for me - started cycling trip in Prague along Vltava I continued along Elbe / Labe in Germany.
Beautiful interiors and great guided tour about the history of Lobkowicz
Wonderful Chateau and winery. Watched the crush, enjoyed a glass of wine on the terrace overlooking the confluence of the rivers!
The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 has not only a reputation as a beer 🍺 country. The Elbe Lowland is one of the most northern wine 🍇 regions in Europe. The traditional stone terraces on the southwestern bank of the river Elbe create the perfect micro climate for winegrowing.🏞 The grapes are processed in a way to become lively, reductive, light wines with a typical bloomy and fruity varietal aroma. 💐 Take a tour to Melnik, a city situated about half hour drive north of Prague. Your celler master takes you through 14th century wine cellar and offers you local wines to taste🍷🥂, accompanied by freshly baked local bread as well as cheese and other snacks.🥖🧀👍
Great view over the country side and two rivers Vltava And Labe meeting.

You should visit this when you are in Melnik. Drinks and desserts are all excellent in English menu. You have to write down your order on a piece of paper, and put it on the lift. Then they will delivery them to you from the lift! I have never see this delivery system before in my life!
What an amazing place to go ! it's a must when in Melnik ! Service was good, prices great ! and the experience extravagant !
Amazing unique cafe 🤩 Excellent service 🙏🏻 Great coffee and drinks 🥤
If you are in Melnik, do not skip this place! Unique experience, probably the most intriguing coffee place we visited so far. Coffee and desserts were excellent, menu is in English and in Czech so no problem there. It is a place to remember and we are definitely going back!
Great location for people and children who are not afraid of taking some steps.
Nice idea to put café and gallery to the tower! Space is really nice, but neither service nor product from menu are good. If you want to go there, than go check the exhibition, but I do not recommend to stop for refreshment.
We went to Melnik end of February 2017 and after visiting the chateau and the square we went for coffee and tea at this so special and cute Galerie and Caffe. We enjoyed the art exibition and it was a surpise to find ourselves inside... a clock for the first time in our life. We sat in the top floor and our beverages came from the ground floor in a special...lift!!!! Very nice herbal tea and warm atmosphere!!!!
This place is simply amazing. Discovered it by chance but it has a wonderful charm to it with a relaxed atmosphere. Wait till you see how you order your coffee...

Perfekt place for family trips
It's pretty small but the entrance is only 30 Kč, you get what you pay for. 👍 Still okay.
(Translated by Google) The museum was very nice. There were many nice souvenirs, the entrance fee was cheap and the teddy bear exhibition was both cute and adventurous as the path led up to the treasure cellar and back to the museum box office. I recommend visiting both young and old visitors. (Original) Muzeum bylo moc pěkné. Bylo tam mnoho hezkých suvenýrů, vstupné bylo levné a výstava medvídků byla roztomilá i dobrodružná jelikož cesta vedla až do sklepní k pokladu a zpět k pokladně muzea. Doporučuji navštívit malým i velkým návštěvníkům.
(Translated by Google) Currently, a lovely treasure hunt exhibition brings the city's 750-year-old past to life through bears and teddies of all kinds. It's pleasantly cool even on hot days and the staff is nice. The museum building itself is very beautiful, from the ground floor to the basement, with a glassed-in parlor and a courtyard with a cafe. There is a souvenir shop at the ticket office at very favorable prices, so a visit will certainly not break your wallet. There are also interesting smaller exhibitions to be seen here during the year, so the museum is worth a stop at any time of the year - perhaps with the exception of Mondays;) (Original) Aktuálně milá výstava s hledáním pokladu přibližuje 750-tiletou minulost města prostřednictvím medvědů a medvídků všeho druhu. Je tu příjemně chladno i za parných dní a milý personál. Samotná budova muzea je velmi krásná, od půdy až po sklep, s prosklenou pavlačí i dvorem s kavárnou. U pokladny je prodejna suvenýrů za velmi příznivé ceny, takže návštěva Vaši peněženku určitě nezruinuje. I během roku jsou tu k vidění zajímavé menší výstavy, takže za zastávku muzeum stojí v kteroukoli roční dobu - snad jen s výjimkou pondělí;)
(Translated by Google) Lovingly run, small but very interesting. German was no problem. The stroller collection is a real highlight. (Original) Liebevoll geführt, klein aber sehr interessant. Deutsch war kein Problem. Die Kinderwagensammlung ein echtes Highlight.
(Translated by Google) Interesting pieces from different times on display. One remembers well. A pram from the movie General School on display. We liked it a lot. (Original) Vystavené zajímavé kousky z různých dob. Člověk si hezky zavzpomíná. Vystaven kočárek z filmu Obecná škola. Moc se nám líbilo.
(Translated by Google) Nice little museum. We saw the pram exhibit and the permanent exhibit. We also liked the nativity scene. We recommend visiting (Original) Hezký menší muzeum. Viděli jsme výstavu kočárku a stálou expozici. Taky se nám líbila výstava betlémů. Doporučujeme navštívit

I visited tower which has a beautiful view all around. It is obstructed by tower clocks on all four sides. First stairs are really narrow and others are steep
We didn't go into the church, but the views from there are beautiful.
The view of Elbe river from here is astounding. The church is of great architectural interest.
We really wanted to enter the church but it was closed unfortunately. The ossuary was creepy but supported by suitable information!
Really small crypts not rlly spackle down there
Interesting place.

Historical landmark

Tall, roughly hewn sculptures of 2 demons’ faces, carved into a sandstone rock face in the 1800s.
Slide 1 of 8
This is an incredible rock faces. Totally worth the short hike up the hills. The monumental rock sculptures can be found in a pine forest near Liběchov by Želízy. Two, approximately nine-metre-tall terrifying devil heads, created by Václav Levý, were the first sculptures to appear in the local sandstone rocks between 1841 and 1846. Considering the dimensions, this artwork is quite unique in the country. The devil heads are accessible along a blue trail that starts by the municipal office in Želízy. The trail is known as the Václav Levý Loop Trail. A number of other reliefs were soon to follow. Visit the Klácelka Cave and take a look at the large relief of Jan Žižka, Prokop Holý, Zdeněk Zásmucký and dwarves forging weapons for the Knights of Blaník. The cave conceals symbols of human traits in animal forms according to the fables by František Matouš Klácel, whom the cave is named after.
Very unique piece and definitely worth of visiting! The hill up is quite slippery with sand, so choose good footwear. There is also longer walk path with other smaller carvings from the same artist, but since we were not quite sure which way to go, we left after seeing the big ones. They have a paved parking lot a bit ahead of the road. It only accepts coins with local currency, no card payment available. Had also one portable toilet, that was unfortunately quite dirty.
Short walk from the parking. Lots of beautiful huge rocks. Must see when in Czechia.
It's beautiful but hard to reach in the rain, we went there in October and rolled down the muddy hill a couple times, trekking shoes with a strong grip are highly recommended.
A nice short getaway, just 40 minutes ride by car from Prague. Beautiful nature and unique rock formations.
We love it here! Amazing place to visit! Much bigger than we thought! We took Metro C then bus 400 to the devil's head. The bus cost only 3€ each and can pay in the bus with card or cash. It is only 40 mins away from the Prague. The bus stop right where they have this big heads! Prepare your shoes, we were up there when it rain and it is very slippery! Worth visit!! Visit here is free as well! When we arrived, it was just 2 of us too!
The devil’s Head is situated near the Mělník city (little town, where the the House of Lobkowicz.is situated, castle, and lies at the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers-worth to visit) , around 30km form Prague. Better to not going there on the highway, which is always full of traffic jam. The sculpture is carved in the limestone/sandstone and can be seen from the down also, where there you can park your car. There are two option the longer road to escalate to the sculpture or the shorter, which of course is harder and steeper, but be warned that in case of rain it is very bad to climb. There are some kind of sand and even in dry period is not good, especially if you go with sandal or open shoe. The sculpture was realized by the sculptor Václav Levý in the first half of the 19th century, and carved into sandstone rocks. The sculpture is a little eroded, by the weather of course, but still beauty and interesting. Some part reminded me of the Adventure movie Merlin, Valley of the Fallen Kings. Of course with a little fantasy 😊 The two head look to the little town Želízy, and a good panorama of the around, can be seen some hood of a power-energetical company.
This is one of the Hidden Gem when you are in Prague . It’s won’t take much time . Small trek to climb and do have parking close to the Starting point ( 2 minutes walking) . Good place for nice photos and view .

great for children
(Translated by Google) A nice theme park that 100% lives up to its name 👍 Children will be excited because they will try the work of an archaeologist, make anything they want out of ceramics, shoot a bow, make artificial flour, try creative 3D sand and much more 😊 The teachers and other staff are very pleasant and helpful 👍 I put a star down for the higher entrance price > it is quite expensive in my opinion (180 CZK adult, 280 CZK child), other activities are paid separately (ceramics 50 CZK). I recommend visiting from 10 o'clock, because there are a minimum of people and you can try everything without waiting 👍 Food, drinks, ice cream and souvenirs are also available here, so you don't have to worry about where to have lunch 👍 Parking right next to the park is also great. The whole family enjoyed more than 4 hours here 🎉 (Original) Hezký tématický park, který 100% naplňuje svůj název 👍 Děti budou nadšené, protože vyzkouší práci archeologa, vyrobí si co jen budou chtít z keramiky, zastřílí z luku, umelou si mouku, zkusí kreativní 3D písek a mnoho dalšího 😊 Lektoři a i ostatní personál je velmi příjemný a ochotný 👍 Hvězdičku dolů dávám za vyšší cenu vstupu > je dle mého názoru dost drahý (180 Kč dospělý, 280 Kč dítě), další aktivity se platí zvlášť (keramika 50 Kč). Doporučuji návštěvu hned od 10 hodin, protože je tu minimum lidí a vše si vyzkoušíte bez čekání 👍 Jídlo, pití, zmrzka i suvenýry jsou zde také, takže nemusíte řešit, kde si dáte oběd 👍 Parkování přímo u parku je taky super. Celá rodina jsme si zde více jak 4 hodiny užili 🎉
(Translated by Google) We visited HistoryPark Ledčice, where children can have fun and learn about the past. They will play archaeologists, artificial flour, make an object from ceramic clay, archery and more. We recommend visiting. (Original) Navštívili jsme HistoryPark Ledčice kde se děti zabaví a poučí o době minulé. Zahrají si na archeology, umelou mouku, vyrobí si předmět z keramické hlíny, střelbu s lukem a jiné. Doporučujeme navštívit.
(Translated by Google) Very nice theme park. Children will try out the work of an archaeologist, make ceramics, shoot a bow. Staff very pleasant. Only the entrance is very expensive (180 adult, 280 child), other activities are paid separately (ceramics 50 CZK). I recommend a visit in the morning, after noon it is already hot here (e.g. working with a metal detector in an open meadow is only for hardy people in the heat). (Original) Moc pěkný tématický park. Děti vyzkouší práci archeologa, vyrobí si keramiku, zastřílí z luku. Personál velmi příjemný. Jen tedy vstup je hodně drahý (180 dospělý, 280 dítě), další aktivity se platí zvlášť (keramika 50Kč). Doporučuji návštěvu ráno, po poledni je tu už vedro (např práce s detektorem kovů na otevřené louce je v horku jen pro vytrvalce).
(Translated by Google) I am somewhat confused. About 8 signs, grinding grain, shooting a bow and digging up a skeleton. That kind of shuts it down. Perhaps the only thing nicely done is the interactive transformation of the landscape with projection. But in a different way, it seems to me that someone made an attraction out of the mess in the garden. Maybe a good idea, and to ask for 280,- for the child + another 50,- in case the child wants to bribe the pidi mističku?? To me, a lot of money for nothing. I give the second star only for the projection. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. There is always room for improvement. 😉 (Original) Jsem poněkud v rozpacích. Cca 8 cedulí, mletí obilí, střelba z luku a vyhrabání kostry. Tím to tak nějak hasne. Snad jediné hezky zpracované je interaktivní přeměna krajiny s projekcí. Ale jinak to na mě působí, že si někdo udělal z nepořádku na zahradě atrakci. Možná dobrý nápad, A za to chtít za dítě 280,- + další 50,- v případě, že si chce dítě uplácat pidi mističku?? Za mě moc peněz za nic. Druhou hvězdičku dávám jen za projekci. Ale držím Vám palce. Vždy je co zlepšovat. 😉
(Translated by Google) Very nice area and great activities for a day spent with children. Indoor part - barn - making flour, drilling, building an arch, making flints... Outdoor part - excavation of skeletons, making bricks, archery, searching with a metal detector, maze, sandpit... Children who enjoy these activities will also spend time here all day. Basic refreshments. There weren't many people here, so there wasn't a long wait at any station. It is very beneficial that there is someone at each station to explain everything. (Original) Moc hezký areál a skvělé aktivity na den strávený s dětmi. Část vnitřní - stodola - tvorba mouky, vrtání, stavění oblouku, tvoření pazourků... Část venkovní - vykopávky koster, výroba cihliček, střílení z luku, hledání detektorem kovů, bludiště, pískoviště... Děti, které baví tyto aktivity zde stráví i celý den. Základní občerstvení. Nebylo zde moc lidí, takže se na žádném stanovišti nečekalo moc dlouho. Velmi přínosné, že u každého stanoviště někdo je a vše vysvětlí.
(Translated by Google) Comfortable educational park with friendly staff. Equipment and facilities are still being improved. Do not expect less than 3 hours for the visit. We shot our fill from the bow, maybe because we came on a weekday as part of the holidays. Excellent pasta, home-made lemonade and excellent espresso satisfied my small, intense hunger, and my son finished his meal with a hot dog. Reasonable prices for the time being. Misters are installed in the backyard and friendly sparrows and one beautiful rooster cheer you up. (Original) Pohodový naučný park s milým personálem. Vybavení i zázemí se stále zdokonaluje. Pro návštěvu nepočítejte s kratším časem než 3 hodiny. Z luku jsme si zastříleli dosyta, možná proto, že jsme v rámci prázdnin přišli ve všední den. Můj malý intenzivní hlad spravily výborné těstoviny, domácí limonada a bezva espresso, syn se ještě dojedl párkem v rohlíku. Ceny na současnou dobu rozumné. Na dvorku jsou instalovány mlhovače a rozveselují vás přátelští vrabci a jeden krásný kohoutek.

(Translated by Google) The family center is a wonderful place where my daughter and I love to go to a toddler club. We felt very comfortable here from the first day - the environment is cozy and homely, which creates a great atmosphere for children and parents. The program is varied, fun and adapted to the age of the children, so every toddler will find something they enjoy. The teachers are kind, patient and have a great attitude towards children. We really appreciate this place and recommend it to all parents who are looking for not only fun for their children, but also a pleasant environment for themselves. (Original) Rodinné centrum je úžasné místo, kam s dcerou rády chodíme na kroužek pro batolata.

Program je pestrý, zábavný a přizpůsobený věku dětí, takže si každé batole najde něco, co ho baví. Lektorky jsou milé, trpělivé a mají skvělý přístup k dětem. Moc si vážíme tohoto místa a doporučujeme ho všem rodičům, kteří hledají nejen zábavu pro své děti, ale i příjemné prostředí pro sebe.
