The fort near Tarczyny is located on the promontory of a lake. Its circular earthwork is very well preserved, up to 15m in height. After the excavations which were conducted here in 1975-1980 the area of the fort became an archaeological reserve and the fort itself was partly reconstructed.
To reach the hillfort follow the footpath from the village of Tarczyny.
