When visiting this hill fort, you can enjoy the stunning views of Užpaliai and observe the winding course of the Šventoji River, making this location a unique tourist
attraction. Although the hill fort has been disturbed by plowing and is overgrown with pine trees, it still retains its history and magic.
Nearby, there is a stone of impressive size: 2.50 meters long, 1.95 meters wide, and 1.10 meters high. Legend has it that this stone conceals a golden boat that was deeply hidden within the hill fort. Despite brave attempts to unearth it, those who tried faced inexplicable challenges. Legends tell of two young men who, determined to test their luck, succeeded in digging up the golden boat; however, as they argued over who should claim it, the boat transformed into a stone.
