Hidden in Lithuania's Utena region: The 2000-year-old Ruklių Hillfort

Delve into the 2000-year-old history of the Ruklių Hillfort, a secret gem hidden in the Lithuanian forest.

The Ruklių Hillfort, an oval- shapes structure, is concealed within the Utena region forest in Lithuania. Study of this prehistoric hillfort commenced by the Institute of History in 1958 and is protected by the Lithuanian National Museum. Believed to be 2000 years old, the hillfort's 25x16-meter main entrance is located on its western side, guarded by three towering stones that stand 2 meters tall. A triangular terrace, measuring 16x16 meters and stretching 800 meters towards the east, lies 1.5 meters below the entrance.
