Specific y-axis limitation in nether fortresses?

Question

I spawned near the ceiling in the nether. However, I'm trying to make the best of things and find a nether fortress anyway. I've found my way to lower levels and have been digging steadily west a while.

Is there a specific y-axis limitation in which nether fortresses spawn or should I just keep digging?

I don't think they spawn underground. But I could be wrong. I was under the impression they were always accessible from the surface, with no digging required. — Zibbobz, Dec 04 '13 at 18:38

There is no limitation in where Nether Fortresses spawn.

Normally they are spawned at lava level.
