Hillfort in Pomorskie
A huge hillfort is located on top of the hill called Zamczysko, north from village of Stary Dzierzgoń. The earliest settlement in this place was established in Iron Age, while in early medieval period Old Prussians build their hillfort here. After Pomezania was conquered by Teutonic Knights in 13th century, they built their own stronghold here, which was later replaced by castle in Dzierzgoń.
The massive earthwork is stunning - the embankment (reaching 5 m of height) and ditches are in perfect condition, with parts of the original Old Prussians earthwork in the southern sector. The total area of the hillfort is almost 0,5 ha. To reach the site you need to follow the footpath from the lonely farmstead north from the railway - the hillfort is located in top part of the hill and is completely covered with forest.
