Article Zvíkov Castle

Today we go together to Zvíkov Castle, which is located above the Orlík reservoir at the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers. We will pass through Zvíkovské Podhradie. There is a fairly narrow road. We don't park yet. In front of us there are two parking lots. The same amount is paid for both – CZK 60 per car. The parking lots are exactly the same. Only one is located about 200 meters closer to the castle. From the parking lot we walk about 600 meters.

The castle grounds are relatively large. The entrance to the castle complex is through the stone bridge through the Písek Gate. We can move freely in the area. From the walls are amazing views of the surrounding countryside and the Orlík dam. Admission is paid only to the royal palace. He walks through the palace without a guide.
