O yeah. Only the real commander may forse his people to assault such walls...-)
At Fall 2002 I managed at least to reach Ivangorod. There is a clozed district near the border... But, as ever in Russia, the foolish rules are compensated by careless implementation of these .-)

Inner parts of fortress. Some districts are ruined, and some are looking good.

Miscellaneous interesting places (there is a lot of these in Ivangorod fortress :-)
 |
Stairway in the tower, leading somewhere up... ... and another one, going vice versa. |
 |
 |
Embrasures in the towers |  |
 |
There are firmly closed doors (I couldn't
open them, at least),
and not closed at all - but just useless as closed... |
 |
 |
Cannon that I found in the yard of fortress
is from another age (end of 19th cent.), but it's looking very good there :-) |
 |
 |
The defence gallery at the top of walls.
The round place (part of this is at right photo)
is build certainly for artillery. |
 |
| And there is a castle in Narva (not far -
but behind the border river, in Estonia). One day I will reach this castle too... |
