The fortress itself is almost entirely from the 1800s, which is not what is not made clear on all tourists websites. There used to be an ancient fortress there but it is virtually gone, just so you a… Full review by fjane84

Not the best fortress we have seen but a lot of outer walls are still standing. I feel the highlight is the views from the Top. Not a lot of steps to negotiate and is relatively easy to get to the to… Full review by AussieRoamers

The view is great from the top but you got to get there-- I was with a lot of older folks and they did just fine. Beware of tour guides that tell stories of the rocks representing people-- shut them… Full review by Dave C

Will I freak out if I'm afraid of heights? This is an optional trip on our cruise, I would like to see it. But the descriptions of the tiny steep stairs in fortress worry me.

There are some steep steps as you get to the top but it's not that bad in my opinion. You don't have to go all the way to the top. Just go as far as you feel comfortable and turn around. It's …

There are some steep steps as you get to the top but it's not that bad in my opinion. You don't have to go all the way to the top. Just go as far as you feel comfortable and turn around. It's still a great site to see whether you go to the top or not.

Q:
The information about the price for parking is not correct. The price is 2,40 bulgarian levs (around 1,30 euro) and it is not per hour, but for unlimited time. So either you misunderstood something, or you have been deceived, which is highly unlikely.

The rocks are the fortress and surround the fortress. The parking is next to the entrance to the fort. Get a map or a topo-map to walk the rock formations. They cover a large area at different levels. When we visited the entry gate was not manned. Having said that if they decide to charge entry fees it would be for the fortress not the remainder of the rock formations. Most people I spoke with seemed to blend the fortress with the rock formations, I view the fortress as being built among the formations. I could have spent more time there but was limited on time. Enjoy the scenery, and the town.
