Lot of info spots. The view is breathless.. Голяма и запазена крепост ! Единствената автентична кула в България ! Препоръчително да се види. Място със история,но е мн занемарено Заслужава си да се посети👌 страхотна гледка Стратегическо разположена крепост! Жалко, че не се поддръжка добре и не се въстановява. Красиви гледки! ❤️ The Cherven is really a very impressive site to visit. Unbelievable that this city that once housed thousands of people, is now nothing but ruins. But there still is a lot to see, not just the foundation ruins. And it's quite a big site, we spend almost 3 hours there. Great views as well. Would advise to pick a day with 20-25 degrees, because there is hardly any shade on the hilltop. You can also visit outside of official opening hours, as it is openly accessible, so in the summer months i actually advise visiting after 19:00 as temperatures lower. A that lasted between the ancient and medieval periods. It was the most important during the Bulgarian Empire. Currently, the is well preserved for how old it is and looks like a ruin straight out of The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. The nature is exceptional, something unique in Europe and perhaps in the whole world. Nice place to spend for few hours. To get to the site you need to climb a few tens of stairs, so it is difficult to access for people with locomotion problems. Also there is an entrance fee: 10 leva/adult and 5 leva/children. Medieval on a hill just outside the village of Cherven. Access is via 235 steps (according to son who counted them)! Small carpark with kiosk and cash desk - neither were open when we arrived around 09:45 but the cash desk was open when we came down. Costs 10 Lev for an adult and 5 for a student. Toilets were locked as they were broken. All signs are in English and Bulgarian and have info about a lot of the buildings. Spectacular views from the top, but are some sheer cliffs so watch young children. Very little shelter at the top, but at 10:00 it wasn't too bad. Lots of small lizards in the cracks of the brickwork. This is by far the best thing to visit in this area. The view is amazing. The site is unbelievably well preserved for such an old place. There was no one but us. Great experience. Extraordinary place with breathtaking panorama views. The is really fascinating and its well preserved. The battle tower is iconic. The whole location has been used in the popular tv series “Game of Thrones”. I loved every part of the place and its perfect for families and large groups. I strongly recommend it, it is a must see!!! Nice experience. It costs 10 leva to go and takes approximately 10 minutes of going uphill. Малкото изкачване по стъпалата си заслужава да стигнеш догоре. Красиво и интересно място, пропито с история. Малко е запазено от това, което са съградили навремето, но за сметка на това е запазено в автентичния си вид, за разлика от много други обекти, изкуствено надградени с нови камъни. Доколкото разбрах, крепостната кула е най-добре запазената такава в истинския си вид в България. Уникална е и гледката отгоре към селото. Съветвам да се отиде в делничен ден, когато е по-спокойно, защото през уикенда има много румънци и други туристи. The views from the top are great- the hike is fine when there’s stairs. Not so reassuring: a huge chunk of a rock broke off and fell into the staircase- made me a bit anxious. The is extensive and just fun to walk around in. Nothing is too well taken care of and people carve their initials into the rocks, as there is no guide at the top. The qr codes next to the signs don’t do anything but give you the signs to read. Don’t scan the QR code at the bottom/at the car park- it’s an app that let‘s you scan bar codes that costs 0,01€ for the first day and then it’s 60€ a month- just use your regular phone camera. Entrance fee is about 3,50€ I think to remember- the little shop has no great sales, the bathroom costs but is in acceptable condition. Didn’t try the restaurant at the car park- very much liked the little dog. Интересно място, добре е да си отдели време човек, за да посети обекта! Worth visit! You have to climb stairs to reach the top. The view is nice. The history about the is written on placards. What an incredible experience. A must if you in the area. We were here unbelievably alone for the first hour and then only another couple. Great destination without the hordes of tourists. Добро място за посещение. Липсват някои табели по маршрута, може би е хубаво да се подържа. На места има треви и храсти, които е хубаво да ги няма. Цената от 10 лв е малко висока за този обект.
