    This is an amazing place - both because of its historical significance and the natural beauty of its location. If you have the opportunity, it is a worthwhile trip.

    Nice place to spend for few hours. To get to the site you need to climb a few tens of stairs, so it is difficult to access for people with locomotion problems. Also there is an entrance fee: 10 leva/adult and 5 leva/children.

    Nice Fortress, good size, easy access, easy climb up. Parking is next to the restaurant and go up the stairs. After 6pm entrance is free and you get a once in a lifetime sunset. Open views all around, green and beautiful this time if year. Try to get there after it's raining you might catch a glimpse if a rainbow! If you keep driving down the narrow road you'll get to a small parking area where you can find some eco paths, easy to moderate. You can also begin your climb up to the fortress from that end, it's a shoe horse shape. Check out Orlova Chucka Cave before or after, it's amazing!

    Good place for view ofer the surrounding area, but not much to see on the place itself. Several remainings of medieval walls, some billboards with renderings of old structures and some explanation. But not much else

    Good for families with small kids, but keep in mind, that there are stairs that takes you 20minutes to go up to the main monument. Nice panoramic views

  • 4/5 Octav P. 1 year ago on Google
    The view is nice. But I feel the historical reconstruction is more artistic then historical.

  • 5/5 Gheorghe L. 11 months ago on Google
    Worth visit! You have to climb stairs to reach the top. The view is nice. The history about the fortress is written on placards.

    An easy to get to by car. Despite quite a few steps to climb to the top of the hill the historic Cherven fort is amazing. A must see place.

  • 5/5 Konstantin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Extraordinary place with breathtaking panorama views. The fortress is really fascinating and its well preserved. The battle tower is iconic. The whole location has been used in the popular tv series “Game of Thrones”. I loved every part of the place and its perfect for families and large groups. I strongly recommend it, it is a must see!!!

  • 5/5 Bogdan R. 4 years ago on Google
    A wonder of nature and history, only disturbed by the song of the birds and flow of the river Lom in the deep valley. There's a snack bar near the parcking where you can serve a steak with fries, salad and a beer.
