Start your amazing half-day trip to Khotyn from Kamianets-Podilskyi after meeting your guide and the driver at the reception of your hotel. The distance to Khotyn is 28 km and you will enjoy a comfortable half-hour ride through the picturesque landscapes of the Western Ukraine.

The history of the Khotyn Fortress dates back to the XIII century, however the complex was rebuilt several times in the subsequent years and nowadays it is one of the best examples of the medieval fortification architecture in Ukraine. Approaching to the fortress, you will see 40-meters defense walls that protected the complex from land attacks, surrounded by earthen moat.

You will cross the drawbridge, enter a spacious castle courtyard and explore its territory. Despite of being attacked and besieged many time in different periods of its history, Khotyn Fortress is preserved almost undamaged until our days. You’ll discover five watchtowers and see an amazing view of the Dniester River. Your guide will tell you a legend about a girl who was immured alive by the Turkish troops in one of the fortress walls. Since that time, there is dark wet spot on the one side of the Khotyn Fortress.

Many historical movies were filmed in the Khotyn Castle, including “The Three Musketeers” and “Taras Bulba”. Moreover, an annual festival “The Battle of the Nations” takes place in the Fortress, during which people from all over the world come to participate in the reconstruction of the historic events.
