The fort in Kalwa is located north from the village, West from the road from Malbork to Dzierzgoń. It's probably and old Prussian stronghold, later used by the Pomeranian princes.
To visit the site you need to turn right just behind the village cemetery - you'll see the hillfort from the distance. Local people call it "Łysa Góra" ("Bold Mountain").
