[martanikolova, 31/03/2012] This is a very interesting place with historical significance and fascinating views. You cannot imagine what it is like up there.
The fortress is located near Asenovgrad in the Rodopi mountain. We reached the entrance by car and then walked a few minutes to reach the fortress itself, since it is a bit high up the mountain.

If you go there you should be careful, because it is not very well safeguarded and it is really high.

If you are expecting to see Fortress, there is no such. Only the ruins of a

[irenauleva, 12/03/2009] Assen's fortress is about 3 km. from Asenovgrad. The road to get there is a good one. Put on sneakers, I mean you have to walk a lot, to climb to be more particular. It's Assen's fortress,but you won't see any fortress there,only rouins and a church. The woman,there was a woman in the churce,told us it is the oldest church in Bulgaria. The nature arround is marvelous,from here you can feel the beauty of Rodopy mountin.
You don't have to pay any fee to look around,but the woman in the church will try to ask some. We paid,but I'm not sure if it's a legal fee,or just a way for this woman to have
