Velniakalnis Hill, surrounded by a myriad of legends, is a dual impasse, consisting of two hills. The unfortified hills of the sanctuary in the Mūša basin are known locally as the Velniakalniai. Here, next to the sanctuary, is the burial place or the cemetery. The hill is about 100 m in diameter, round, and about 10 m high. On the occasion of the Balts’ Unity Day in 2019, an object commemorating the Balts’ traditions was erected in Velniakalnis, on the highest hill in Pasvalys District – a sundial included in the World Sundial Atlas (www.sundialatlas.net).
