There is no museum. All structures are heavily ruined. There are a couple of lighthouses. There are signs and a diagram of the structures. Interesting, but I would like more information. The landscapes are beautiful. Vyborg is visible on a clear day

Trongzund fortress. This is not Novgorod or Izborsk, but also not Gdov, where 1.5 stones remained ... This is a building from 1864-68, when the fortresses were already bursting into the rocks and soil, so you can't expect much :-(, you walk along the hills, inside Something remained, something on the surface - there is an impression of scale, satisfaction - no.

An unusual, unique place: from here you can see the entrance to the port of Vyborg, over one of the capes even Olaf's tower rises, the views of gentle rocks peeping out of the water and pines growing on them reminds Finland, and due to the low accessibility, that is, the remoteness from St. Petersburg, the fortress is not dirty and not very ruined. You can get inside, equipped with flashlights, or climb up the grassy slope.
The most convenient way to get to Trongsund is on your own, by car: along the old Vyborg highway or along the Primorskoye highway. The train takes longer and more dreary: either directly to Popovo is almost four hours, or first to Vyborg by "swallow" and from there by local train to Popovo, plus and another 12.5 km from Popovo to Vysotsk (on foot or by hitchhiking).

A great fortification from the 19th century but in a decaying condition. Some underground galleries are dangerous due to bricks falling from the ceiling vaults.
