You're standing at Zvíkov, a castle often called "the king of Czech castles". Take a look around first. It sits on a steep rocky promontory, right where the Otava and Vltava rivers meet. You could hardly pick a better spot for a fortress. It's one of the most important early Gothic castles in the country.
