Kartena Hillfort, Archaeological site and scenic viewpoint in Kartena Eldership, Lithuania.
The elevated defensive structure encompasses circular trails connecting the hillfort with natural landmarks across 2.8 kilometers of pathways through valleys.
Built during the late Iron Age in the 9th century, the hillfort functioned as a defensive center for Curonians of Ceclis lands until the 13th century.
The site holds artifacts from ancient settlements, including pottery and tools that reveal information about past inhabitants of the Kartena region.
The hillfort features improved visitor access through recent infrastructure developments, funded by EU structural funds to enhance the local tourism experience.
From its position, visitors observe the Minija River bend, valleys, and town while walking past notable features like the Witch's Stone.
