Where Mykolas Oginskis Held Concerts and Ceremonies

Archaeologists have worked on the site in 2007 and 2013 to study its use from the first millennium through the 13th century. The hillfort is a distinct mound on the left bank of the Babrunga River, covered in trees and bushes. It is characterized by an irregular triangular clearing measuring roughly 95 metres long and 60 metres wide.

The clearing is higher on its western side and tapers off. On the eastern slope, a terrace about 25 metres wide and 70 metres long sits about 3 metres lower than the clearing, sloping towards the east. The slopes of the hillfort stand between 10 and 14 metres high.

You can reach the site by following a path through the woods to a wooden bridge crossing a small stream. There is a parking area and an information board nearby, but the fort itself remains a quiet, wooded mound. According to local lore, the site may have contained hidden treasures or served as a shrine. It is also recorded that Mykolas Oginskis of Plungė held concerts and ceremonies here.
