Hillfort in Warminsko-mazurskie

The early medieval Old Prussian hillfort was built on the top of a 147m high hill over Kurzętnik. According to tradition this place was also a site of a holy pagan grove called Ciemnik, which was a shelter of demons. In the 14th century a stone castle was constructed here, remains of which are visible till nowadays. The excavations unearthed artefacts from the Old Prussian hillfort.

The site is easily available – there is a parking lot under Zamkowa Góra (Castle Hill), near the road to Lubawa.
