The idea to visit the largest fortress in Ukraine arose a long time ago, but it was finally realized on the May holidays. This is the Ackerman Fortress in Belgorod-Dniester. From Odessa to Belgorod-Dniester there is a minibus №560 from the railway station. But we drove with friends; however, half of the road passed, looking into the exhaust pipe of the same "five hundred and sixties" : ) The road from Odessa to Belgorod is normal, and in the Gulf and Shabo - excellent, European quality. Which, of course, is very funny. Especially when you observe the fork on Belgorod-Dniester and Shabo - the difference in coverage is visible to the naked eye and not in favor of the Belgorod-Dniester road.

The fortress itself is impressive, especially from the outside. Entrance 20 hryvnias. - adult, UAH 10 for children, amateur photo - free of charge, excursion - UAH 200. - Group.

I liked that there are tables, benches and a few trees in the shade, which can hide a tired traveler.


In another - boredom. The only entertainment - climbing the ancient walls. What visitors are happy to do next to the dense security, despite the warning signs "Walking is FORBIDDEN" and "CAUTION! DANGEROUS! " (To be honest - we were no exception). The tour was not taken, but in each fortress tower there is a sign with a description in Russian, and at the entrance to the fortress hangs a detailed plan with a brief historical background, so do not remain in the dark. There was a group of reconstructors in the fortress, dressed in Roman armor and, apparently, consider the Ackerman fortress their home. They then "repulsed the enemy's attack" posing in front of photographers on the walls of the fortress, then tried to gather in a "turtle" - at least some variety.

I liked the flowerbed - good interior, delicious food, nice service, and most importantly - affordable prices and large portions. Took soup 300g + pizza 500g, + 4 glasses of "Chardonnay" Total: 107 hryvnias.

(10 euros for foreign money). In general, I recommend "Flowerbed" for everyone to use : )

Of course, we couldn't help but visit Shabo. For those who are not aware of Shabo - this is a village with a winery of the same name, which produces the same name "Shab wine". Shabo is located only four kilometers from Belgorod-Dniester. As soon as you enter Shabo on a beautiful road, you realize - this is a cool village. Seeing the gilded statue "Motherland" near the eternal fire, you realize that THIS village is VERY cool. And when you approach the "Wine Culture Center", you start to doubt whether you are in your native "nanny" or inadvertently crossed the border of the European Union, taking at least in neighboring Romania.

Its assortment is widely represented in the winery's brand store. I personally saw some of the positions for the first time. The prices of popular wines and cognacs do not differ much from the prices of supermarkets in Odessa (3 - 5 UAH).

It may be beneficial for the owners of cereals, but for ordinary people - not very much. bought three liters of "Chardonnay" on the way back (not empty-handed to go : )). Here, at the entrance to the brand store, you can book an excursion to the "Wine Culture Center" with a tasting of local products.

In a high spirits, with jokes and sayings, brought to Odessa and a half liters of Shab "Chardonnay": p

Summary: rest is good, and good rest is even better! : )))

I wish everyone a pleasant experience and bright travels!
