This fortress is very old and the impressive remains are left. We could see the fortress from the road we were driving on. The fortress is located on a rocky hilltop in the Carpathain Mountains. This fortress is first mentioned in 1331! It was made a long time ago! This fortress was built as a protection against invaders. It was designed as a place of refuge and had over 30 houses, a school, a chapel, and other building associated with a village. The defensive system included nine towers, two bastions, and a drawbridge. The fortress is also surrounded by 500 foot slopes on the North, South, and West sides. It was so cool walking around. The view was beautiful too. Everything was just breathetaking! I am so glad I got to see all these places! What a great experience I had.
There was a hand full of people that were dressed up! Most of them were people who had a shop for people to look at.
A good spot to look out!
There was so much here! This place could entertain me for awhile! It would be a great place to play hide and go seek. Inside is like a maze!
Here is the trail going up to the top of the hill. There is a rail that you could hold onto while going up.
Katelyn and me at the top!
The trail coming down.
This is the road we walked up to get to the fortress and also the one we walked back down.
love it!!!
