Let's start from the beginning. So, from a distance, the fortress (called the castle) makes a serious impression, a normal, well-preserved fortress on a high hill. Fell for the gorgeous view, went on foot)))). January 2026.The road is uphill, but not steep, you can approach both from the right and from the left, as a result, the roads connect and you get to a site with a locked gate and an inscription about reconstruction. There have been no workers for a long time)))). But we are stubborn people, we walked sideways and went straight up to the wall.... There is an opportunity to enter inside (where the workers' trailers are), but we did not. This is not a reconstruction, but a simple remodel, concrete is poured on the remains of the wall, new masonry is laid and lined with cheap material. In general, there is nothing from the story, unfortunately. Just piles of household garbage, and a large cafe with a view of the Village ((( I do not recommend it. Purely a waste of time and disappointment in both the fortress and the reenactors.,,

A beautiful fortress with a great postcard view! I haven't climbed to the top, but it looks great from below!

Interesting places in Selifka are within walking distance. It was interesting to climb the mountain, explore the city from a hill - a stunning view, it's a pity that the fortress is closed.
