Hillfort in Łódzkie

The early medieval fort called "Szwedzka Góra" ("Swedish Mountain") is located SW of the village of Tum. The first foertified settlement was built here in 6th century AD (early tribal period). In 8th-10th century (late tribal period) a circular bank was constructed and the ditch was cut, while the final phase is dated for 12th century AD.

The earthworks are in perfect condition and surrounded with meadows.
