It was dangerous sometimes and the way to the southernmost part was the most adventurous part.

[Heresson]

There was no-one in the castle but me and spirits of my armenian forefathers probably.

really nice views

[Heresson]

On the previous picture You can notice what I've noticed: some cave or something. I came there and here's what I have found, there were more insides like this

[Heresson]

the same place from the other side; there's a next hall next to it, with a solid rock as a wall.

[Heresson]

I love this place

[Heresson]

Here's a view from one of the upper castles on the bastions of the lower one. There are fortifications even lower, from the very beginning of the mountain.

[Heresson]

Here's a view from the king's tower I think to the south, You can see some fortifications there... You'll see them clearer on the next pic. At this time I thought the king's apartaments were there and it was the reason why I was determined to get there. It's proven to be the hardest task, though. Not THAT hard, but it took me some time and stress.

[Heresson]

Now You see the southernmost part from upside...

[Heresson]

And that's a view from a very different place, also to the south.

Very nice pictures

How is the border crossing between Syria and Turkey. Easy or did you get harrassed?

[Heresson]

Here's the king's tower from downside as I was going to the southern part. There was no path here and I thought I'd give up, but I've found I can go a bit down on a not quite even little grassed terrace and from there there was a way.
