Melnik is an Elbe River cruise port and town in Czech Republic's Stredovesky kraj (Central Bohemian Region). The town is located at the confluence of two rivers (Labe and Vltava), and approx 35 km (22 ml) north of Prague (country's capital city). The town has population around 20,000 and total area approx 25 km2 (10 ml2). Melnik is also part the Prague metro (urban zone with population over 2,6 million).
The town is best-known for the Melník Castle built by the House of Lobkowicz (Czech noble family dating back to the 14th century).
