Bubiai Hillfort
Bubių piliakalnis
A towering ancient hillfort by the Venta River, linked in some accounts to the Battle of Saule, with views over the river valley and fields from the top.
Bubiai Hillfort is one of the best-known hillforts in northern Lithuania. The steep earthen mound rises beside the Venta River valley and was once a defensive stronghold of the ancient Samogitians; some believe it is connected to the 13th-century Battle of Saule. Steps lead to the summit platform, which offers wide views over the valley and fields. Free to visit; allow about half an hour. It is about 15 km from Šiauliai and can be visited on the way to Kurtuvėnai Regional Park by car.
