Description
A hill overgrown with dense, hardly passable woods, which does not particularly stand out against the nearby hilly relief. The hill had not been artificially transformed, there have been no artefacts of an ancient cult site found. It is registered as a holy site due to its name.
Narrative
The local people know about the hill and can show it. There is no real explanation why it is a holy hill. Not far from it the Zošugrogs cemetery is situated. There is no hill fort in direct proximity to the hill that would be typical for other places in Kurzeme when a cult site was located right next to an ancient dwelling place.
