Lovely place to visit. There's a few entries to this place but if you follow the signs you won't get lost. Tickets cost 4 BGN per adult or 2 BGN for students. 3 minute walk up the stairs from the parking lot and there you are. Beautiful view, and very interesting. Spent half an hour there as it was a hot and sunny day. I think its a must.

Indeed a magnificent place. 360 views are stunning. The fortress itself is not especially well-preserved, however there is a nice path around the place to take a walk and take in the views. Keep in mind there are no fences around the cliff, so be very careful with little kids and pets.

Nice place to visit. It’s a bit windy on the top, so be prepared. There’s a small parking near the main road, also you could park just near the entrance. Tickets price: Adults- 4 lv Kinds - 2 lv

Just wonderful ! A great place to see at least once in a lifetime 😉

(Translated by Google) There is a path with separate places for rest, a spiral staircase with a secure railing after the climb there is a wonderful view of the city (Original) Има пътека с обособени места за почивка,вита стълба с обезопасен парапет след изкачването се открива чудесна гледка към града

Very beautiful, peaceful place, perfect for sunsets

Amazing tourist spot!!! The fortress was built by the Byzantines in the IV century (wow!!) We’re pretty lucky as when we went here, there was no entrance fee. Not sure if it’s because of winter season but it’s for free during this time :) You’re going to get a lot of information guide from small site and I appreciated it that they have majority in English version so for non-local tourists like me can understand the story behind. Must visit place 👍

Incredible view of the city and the godfather rock monasteries on the opposite plateau ... bring water ... :). Have a nice time.

Awesome view. As far as I remember there is also little barbecue area. Not sure up to where you can go with a car, I was with a car some time ago, but remember the path was kinda tight.

One of the places that transcend centuries and millennia.

Apparently there are two ways to come to this place - some stairs from town-side or forest-gravel-road/path. Google maps guides via forest-gravel-path. It was after rain, washed out huge holes and gaps in road. I wouldn't dare to walk there, but rented car took this challenge like a champ. For big surprise on top we found few more cars parked, so we learned that there more of these crazy-turists daring to drive it. Next to entrance there is even tiny souvenir store. Fortress itself - AMAZING. Stone-carved stairs, view on top - it was just unreal. We were there just after rain - it was refreshing and really nice to enjoy amazing Bulgaria nature view from there

Very nice. We climbed on the plateau from Provadia town. Entrance fee is symbolic (2 lv/person), and you can park free of charge. Once you arrive on the plateau you have a nice trail to walk and a beautiful view of the city, and on the other side a canyon.

Don't expect to see the actual fortress there, only some foundation stones. But overall fantastic views all around

Not suitayfor people afraid of heights. Apart from that here you can see the remnants of the Ovech castle and check from top the surrounding area. A visit is definitely needed.

Interesting place to visit it. Beautiful views. A bit difficult acces. The staires and path need upgrade. However, it was nice walking around the fortress.

Interesting place, a lot of small lizards around in the rocks. Great views from above.

very nice views, not crowded. great for a quick hike

This could be a major tourist attraction, but is mismanaged. If you just happen to drive by Provadia, and visit Ovech, you will like it. However, if you drive to Provadia with the main purpose to see Ovech and learn some history - as we did - you will be disappointed. Information on place is very scarce, marking is terrible! We tried to hike to rock monastery Shashkanite, as one sign suggested. After an hour under the hot sun, we turned back. I am posting a picture, which says marking is made and financed by Rotary Club Provadia and municipality Provadia. Well, both should be ashamed of mismanaging this interesting place. The only tourist infrastructure which is modern, and cost more that $10, is the ticket office.

Interesting place which you can visit for free during the non working days (Monday and Tuesday). Definitely worth seeing.

Cheap entry, nice walk.

Very interesting location. A piece of history worthing to be known

Impressive, especially the location and the views! Even if it's ruined, the fortress is interesting and it's a must see attraction, if you are traveling through this region!

Amazing place to take some great photos!

Beatiful Fortress and sightseeing

easy access on a new road, there is an entrance fee. It takes about 20 minutes to climb to the fortress. The view of the city is amazing and worth it!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful nature. (Original) Прекрасна природа.

(Translated by Google) The scheme with the location of the churches, the houses, the wall can be printed on the brochure distributed at the entrance ... it was difficult for me to find my way. (Original) Може на брошурата раздавана на входа да се напечата схемата с разположението на църквите,къщите,стената..беше ми трудно да се ориентирам.

one day trip in bulgaria again, because i love it so much, ovech fortress is fantastic, the view from therr is also beautiful.

Must see it!

Highly recommend visiting after 3pm. This way youll have enough time to walk around the whole thing, read the info signs and rest at one of the benches while watching the sun set behind the hill in the near distance.

Historical place with magnificient views.

Not much to see on site, but with great views over the surrounding area

The fortress is great with stunning view, from where you can see the whole surrounding area. However the reconstruction "efforts" did leave some ridiculous constructions, which don't have much in common with the original look.

Amazing place for a great walk. Will visit again as an entire day must be spent up there.

Stunning panorama to be had & fascinating history. Look out for the 3 remaining mosques. Take water during summer visits. Take a hat & wear sunscreen. Enjoy

Oh god ' The sunset was incredible and the moon rise awesome. Don't miss this landscape.

We parked where Google indicated and walked up the stairs for 3 minutes. What was built on the top of the rock is impressive, there are several ruins. The tower and the wooden bridge give a great perspective.

Wonderful
