From the edge of the promontory, next to the castle and the church, you see the place that explains Mělník: the Vltava arrives from Prague and joins the Elbe here, which flows on towards Dresden and the North Sea. Below, the town's hillside vineyards. It is a one-minute walk from Míru Square, free, and the best photo of the day at sunset.
