Khotyn Getting there & around

Getting there & around

There are regular marshrutky making the 20km journey between Kamyanets-Podilsky and Khotyn (5uah, 30 to 45 minutes) and every Kamyanets-Podilsky–Chernivtsi bus stops en route. The fortress is about 4km north of the bus station. It’s simplest to get a taxi from across the street (about 7uah), but if you want to walk, turn right at the bus stop and head back in the direction of Kamyanets-Podilsky. It’s a 45-minute walk north along vul Shevchenko, across the market square and beyond, following the occasional sign that says ‘Fortetsya’ (). Turn right after the road curves and head towards a statue in the distance. Walk past the statue, through the first set of walls and through to the other side for a spectacular view down a grassy hillside towards the fortress, perched above the river.
