Mělnické podzemí The entrance to the underground is directly from the Mělník Tourist Information Center. The tour is very interesting and the guide is pleasant. The Mělník underground was created from the end of the 13th century. The construction took place simultaneously with the construction of the city. The first floor of the corridor system is located at a depth of 8 to 10 meters below the surface, the third, the deepest, up to 25 meters. Almost every house in the historic center had an underground entrance, so the individual buildings were connected. Today, this is made impossible by frequent backfills and collapses, but also by numerous walls. The place where the well is excavated is pointed out in the pavement of Náměstí Míru by a circular glass plate in a metal frame with an inscription. The 54-meter-deep well was excavated when the city of Mělník was founded and was the only source of drinking water. The depth of the water column is over 7 meters and the diameter of the well is 4.54 meters, making the Mělnice well the widest well in the Czech Republic. You can reach the well through an underground passage from the Tourist Information Center, where group guided tours start. In addition to a well and a replica of a rumpus, there are safe shelter and underground building exhibits underground. Previously, underground spaces were mainly used for food storage and in case of fire or war as a shelter. Several legends and rumors are connected to the Mělnice underground. One of them says that St. Wenceslas sleeps in the bowels of the Mělnice hill and thousands of knights who will come to the aid of the Czech land when the worst comes. Another legend tells of a treasure of immense value, which will only appear if the entire city is reduced to ashes and will serve the citizens to rebuild the burnt city.
