Heard a lot about this fortress, watched photos and a couple of documentaries. And at some point, I literally started to rave about her. Well, a week ago I finally got there!
I remained in children's delight, despite the fact that the fortress is frankly neglected. Compared to what I saw in Poland and the Czech Republic, the situation can be said to be deplorable. But, if we take into account what the Khotyn fortress went through, everything falls into place.
The stone castle, which many people know, is only a small part of the fortifications. There is also the New Fortress - a huge complex of ditches and ramparts. Both parts are impressive: the first is ancient, the second is scale.
In the fortress and next to it, one feels the indescribable spirit of antiquity. The castle looks somehow sincere, without plastic for tourists. The landscapes that open from the towers and steeps are also impressive. True, people who are afraid of heights should not walk along them.
