The castle-castle route. Take a walk in the Middle Ages

Where to go: Dubno-Zbarazh

You should take with you:

  • - desire to fall in love with further consequences;
  • - readiness to enter the torture room (and get out safely);
  • - mood to shoot with a pseudo-crossbow;
  • - a collection of Cossack songs;
  • - ten hryvnias;

    Dubna Castle could never be attacked. He remembers the lavish banquets, the attacks of the Tatars during the prince's wedding, the brave bride who ran from under the crown to the guns. And here were arranged the famous fishing, which came the Polish king himself.

    And Zbarazh Castle was destined to be a defensive structure from the very beginning. It was besieged by the army of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, destroyed by the Tatars. The legendary Cossack Morozenko fought under these walls. A century later, Perto the First and Hetman Ivan Mazepa were here. Family dramas took place in the castle walls, and the local dungeons still hold mysteries that are not revealed for the first time. Today, both strongholds are completely peaceful (except for torture rooms) and hospitable (to all tourists, regardless of their nationality).

    So if you want to see this, and hear the legends of secret tunnels that could go by carriage, the curse from which the whole princely family disappeared, to visit the tower of the princess, who managed to protect (literally) his family happiness, and finally make a wish of a matrimonial nature, then the route that connects Dubna and Zbarazh castles is just for you.
