The Iron Age Hillfort overlooking the Dubysa River

Imagine stepping back in time to the Iron Age, as you explore the eroded remains of Bulvenėnų piliakalnis, a hillfort protected by a ring of stones.

Bulvenėnų piliakalnis, located on the right bank of the Dubysa River, is formed by its slope and a barrow mound. The hillock measures approximately 130 meters long and 40 meters wide. A large mound in the western part of the hillock serves as a noticeable pit for storing wood, reaching heights of approximately 15-20 meters. Archaeological investigations conducted by the Lithuanian History Institute in 1967 date Bulvenėnų piliakalnis to the Iron Age.
