In Czech, "nad Vltavou" means "upon the river Vltava". Both the château and the village are situated on the left river bank, on the shores of the Orlik reservoir which was created by the building of Orlík Dam.
The village can be easily reached via car or bus. It lies close to the crossroads of two main routes, one from south to north (Prague-Písek) and the other from east to west (Březnice-Tábor).
The château, Orlík Castle, stands right adjacent to the water and is surrounded by a huge castle park and a game preserve. The property belongs to the House of Schwarzenberg, but during the summer months it is open to public on most days.
