Криевукалнс

Krievukalns rises 190.2 meters above sea level, featuring sandy and gravelly layers with clay sediments forming its uppermost section near the regional road P106.

The defensive hillfort served as a strategic settlement point during ancient times, with archaeological evidence indicating patterns of early civilization in the Courland region.

The name of this elevation carries deep meaning, potentially derived from ancient priests called Krievi, with a flat square stone at its peak marking ceremonial significance.

The hill requires sturdy footwear for exploration, as the terrain combines agricultural fields at the top and forested slopes with no developed tourist infrastructure.

Located at the highest point of Western Courland's elevation, the hill extends 1.5 kilometers in length and 1 kilometer in width with relative height of 20 meters.
