Paluküla hiiemägi

The hill rises 106 meters above sea level in the southeastern region of Rapla County, forming part of the Kõnnumaa landscape protection area.

Before the 13th-century Livonian Crusade, local communities used this elevated ground as a central location for gatherings and traditional ceremonies.

Local residents continue their nature-centered worship practices at this site, making offerings to ancestors and celebrating important seasonal events throughout the year.

The Paluküla Hiiemäe Hoiu Seltsing organization, established in 2004, manages the site and coordinates preservation activities with environmental authorities.

The hill contains Fennoscandian herb-rich forests and provides habitat for protected species including the white-backed woodpecker and several bat populations.
