The hillfort rises 90 meters above Lake Pilskalna, featuring steep slopes and standing at an elevation of 247 meters above sea level.

Archaeological excavations in 2007 uncovered evidence of two distinct periods of human settlement, dating from 1000-2000 BC and the 7th to 10th centuries.

The site retains its status as an archaeological monument of national importance, representing early settlement patterns in the northern Vidzeme region.

A 3.5-kilometer nature trail leads visitors from the Veclaicene administrative building to the hilltop, with information panels providing details about local history.

From the summit, visitors can see Estonia's Suur Munamägi, the highest point in the Baltic states, using a dedicated landscape observation panel.
