Apuolės piliakalnis
Apuolės piliakalnis submitted by Alta-Falisa : Partial view, the site being immense. From the "car-park", this stair leads downhill to the foot of the mound, and is followed by another wooden stair going uphill. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in Lithuania : a former hill-fort (piliakalnis), well known locally, where celebrations are held yearly.

Signposted along road 4603 at (56.2406,21.6725) -- see photo.
A 600 m decent earth road leads you to an area marked by a totem-like pole (see photo).
The rest is on foot, first on a downhill wooden stair, followed by an uphill one.
See further photos in the panoramio gallery about the annual tribal warfare and crafts festival.
