Palanok Castle
We will start our journey through Transcarpathia from Palanok Mukachevo Castle. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations and not only because of its rich history and architecture, but also because of the huge number of rumors and myths that the local residents are in no hurry to neither deny nor confirm. But there is a lot to listen to here: about the heroic woman Ilona Zrini, who held the siege of the castle for several years (by the way, a historical fact), and about a strange well dug in a solid rock (who knows how it really was), and about a mysterious ghost, that roams the corridors of the castle at night (some verified saw with their own eyes). One way or another, in your list of visited places, put a check mark next to Palanok Castle in Mukachevo.
