Lepelionys hillfort

Lepelionys hillfort is an archaeological site with a quadrangular shape that rises from the Prienai district landscape with sloping sides and a small flat top. Archaeological work at this location has uncovered heat-burnt stones, ceramic fragments, and metal objects buried within the mound.

Historical records suggest a wooden fortress once stood at this location and played a role in the area's early settlement patterns. Archaeological findings indicate the site was later abandoned after its period of use.

Local residents connect this mound to regional history and past events that shaped the land, viewing it as a landmark tied to their heritage. This connection makes it a place where stories about the area's past remain alive in community memory.

This site is accessible by foot, bicycle, or car using marked paths and local directions to find the location. Visitors should bring weather-appropriate clothing as the exposed hilltop position means conditions can be windy and unpredictable throughout the year.

The small flat platform on top provides just enough space for a handful of people to stand and take in views across the Lithuanian countryside. This limited space at the summit creates an intimate outlook point surrounded by the open fields and forests of the region.
