Riečių piliakalnis submitted by Alta-Falisa : Overall view of Riečių piliakalnis. June 2015. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Riečių Piliakalnis (Mound of Riečiai) goes back to the first millennium AD. It is associated with legends, summarized on the information board.

This Piliakalnis was and still is very vast indeed. It is not limited to the highest part (on the left seen from the road) generally shown on photos; it also comprises the right part and everything in-between.

It is signposted for both directions along the road 181, where a view point is provided at (54.4770, 23.6887). Parking facilities for one car, and information board in Lithuanian, English, Russian.

It is not advisable to cross the field. The coordinates I give correspond to the view point.
Visited : June 2015.
