Very nice park for a walk alone or with children. Historic place with well presented data.
Едно от малкото хубави места в Перник. Крепостта е исторически паметник на културата. Първите документирани заселници са траките. Името на крепостта идва от болярина Кракра.
There is an nice view
Not the best restoration, you should visit, but don't expect much. Need a local guide. Note to local authorities - change the national flag - the current one looks like a rag . Shame
It is a bit hard to rate the Krakra fortress. Thinking about the restorations works on the ancient fortress - it is terribly restored. It looks and feels cheap and has no added value - no interesting information left, no internal restoration. Although the old walls on the inside are left in a good condition, which is good - with some imagination you can restore the old fortress in your mind.
BUT as a place to visit - it is wonderful. It is just outside the town - close to the center, but it is in the open nature, it is on a high point so you have a wonderful view in the town's direction, also with the restoration done they have put lots of benches, internal lightning and stuff that make it a great place for a walk. There is a caffee just under the entrance so you can grab a coffee or a beer while you hang out. So as a place to visit it is great and I recommend it.
Also it is beautiful at night and as I said there are lights all over the place so it feels comfortable.
In working hours the entrance fee is 2 euro but in the evening there are no people working on the barrier - just a guard, so you can enter and enjoy it for free!
In my opinion - it is a MUST!
Medieval fortress, with funny plastic restoration.
