It's a very small fortress on top of a hill over the village of Belchin (which is so rich in stork nests, I have never seen storks fly so low over my head - impressive!). Two eco trails and a funicular take the visitors up the hill.
Lots of attractions for the children outside the fortress - the best of which is the long rope path.
The fortress wall with the two towers:
A view from above to the village and fields below and the stormy skies. The promised rain was visible as a grey veil, as it fell in the distance. Some of it rained on us too:
The church and the towers were fully restored and turned into small museums:
A view from the third floor of the right tower:
A part of the fortress wall with a model of an ancient battle machine:
A restored residential building:
Just at the end of the second eco trail, which took us down the hill, starts a hiking trail. We walked along it for about a kilometer, but it started drizzling, so we turned back to the village.
A small ethnographic museum in the village reconstructs the ways and means of living of the locals in the past:
It's raining outside. Again. Back to embroidery :)
