A medieval castle on a rocky promontory beside a deep river canyon, guarding the bridge to an old town that sits almost on an island in a loop of the Smotrych River. It's one of the most picturesque castles in Eastern Europe.


Nearby is Khotyn fortress on the Dniester. Because of the war, most governments advise against travel to Ukraine; check your government's travel advice before going.
