Oliņkalns, Ancient hillfort in Klintaine Parish, Latvia.
The archaeological site stands on an island within the Pļaviņas hydroelectric plant reservoir, rising 20 meters above the water surface.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered evidence of medieval settlements and fortifications dating back to the establishment of Alene castle in the 13th century.
The hillfort holds regular community gatherings where locals celebrate traditional Latvian festivals through song performances and folk ceremonies.
Visitors can observe the remaining ramparts and dolomite cliffs from the Rīga-Daugavpils highway A6, located opposite to the Stukmaņi settlement.
Mountain climbers installed a memorial stone in 1998 to mark this archaeological monument that now sits 300 meters from the shore.
