A colorful postcard with the motif of Zvíkov Castle, located on a promontory above the confluence of the Otava and Vltava rivers.

The postcard captures the beautiful scenery of the castle surrounded by the water surface of the Orlická Dam and the surrounding nature with boats on the river. The text on the back is multilingual (Czech, Russian, German, English, French) with a historical description of the castle. Published by Orbis, photo by Miroslav Renč, printed by Severografia Děčín. The postcard shows traces of normal wear consistent with its age.
