Melník

Mělník is a town in the Czech Republic, Central Bohemian Region. It lies at the confluence of the Labe and Vltava rivers, approx. 35 km north of Prague. The Region belongs to the most important agricultural areas of the Czech Republic. The main agricultural plants are fruits, vegetables, potatoes, corn, sugar beet and wine. Princess Ludmila began with wine-growing in Mělník and later the Holy Roman emperor and Czech king Charles IV continued in this activity, importing vines from Burgundy. Now wine-growing continues to be a big tradition in Mělník, and every autumn a wine-harvest celebration (vinobraní) takes place here. Area Code: + 206
