Zelčín - Hořín
Zelčín is a small village on the left bank of the Vltava River in the Mělník district.
The first historical mention of Zelčín dates back to 1245 in connection with Queen Kunhuta and the knight Lambin. In medieval times, fishing was the main duty of Zelčín. Since 1960 the cadastral territory of Zelčín belongs to the neighbouring municipality of Hořín.
Hořín is a village located about 2 km west of Mělník. It was first historically documented in 1319, but it is certain that it was founded earlier.
Orchards are found from the lowlands to the foothills. The cultivated landscape with orchards is predominantly found in the warm climate zone, but also extends significantly into the temperate climate zone. Most of the area is upland with undulating relief on the edges of valleys, plains and basins. On the route of the Polabská cesta, the orchards are mainly represented by the villages of Daminěves, Lužec nad Vltavou and Cítov.
