Pilis Mounds in Kernavé

.

The landscape in Kernavé is decorated with mounds, natural or man made, used by the Balts as defensive fortifications. Other mounds served as fire hills to warn approaching enemies, as the smoke could be seen kilometres away.

I was stunned by such a unique site. It was so so colourful, surrounded by red, yellow and green trees, and from the top of the mounds you could enjoy a vast view of a natural landscape all around

I had never seen mounds before. They seemed to me strange and different from the other natural hills. They all had the same shape.  

The landscape is unique.
