In the sixties he was the headmaster of the Český Krumlov gymnasium and from 1962 he taught on the college of pedagogy in České Budějovice. He died in 1997. Cífka was interested in the south Bohemian region, its literature, history and culture, and this interest was reflected in his wide and multiform work as well as his editorial activities.
