Pypliai Hillfort, Archaeological site and hillfort in Ringaudai Eldership, Lithuania.
The Pypliai Hillfort rises between two deep hollows within the Kacergine forest, featuring steep slopes and a flat observation platform at its summit point.
During the 13th to 15th centuries, this defensive structure protected the territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from incursions by the Teutonic Order.
Local folklore connects the hillfort to Duke Pyplys, who according to legend constructed the mound to commemorate his son who died in battle.
The site requires appropriate hiking footwear as visitors need to navigate uneven terrain to reach the top and explore the archaeological remnants.
Archaeological excavations beneath the current Pypliai village have revealed ancient settlement traces, including post holes and pottery from previous inhabitants.
