Worth seeing bridge! However, a lot of truck traffic. Climbs on both sides, particularly unpleasant towards the east

I think the parking fee of currently 100 crowns (as of October 29th, 2022) can be saved by everyone. Parking on site. There is free parking at Hotel Zivkov. But beware: do not use the hotel car park. Before or after visiting the castle, use one of the hiking trails, the signposting is not always great, but it is almost impossible to walk along the main road if you stay on the side of the castle. There is a stall selling souvenirs and snacks. (Wikipedia says: Zvíkov (German: Klingenberg) is a castle above the Orlík reservoir at the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers in the Písek District. It stands on a ledge about a kilometer north of the village of Zvíkovské Podhradí at an altitude of 370 m. The castle is managed by the National Monuments Institute and is open to the public during visiting hours. It has been protected as a cultural monument since 1963 and was included in the list of national cultural monuments in 1978.
