[LV] Nocietinajumu izveidosana augstienes sturos, tai skaita upju satekas, ir dominejosais nocietinajumu buves veids Kurzeme. Ari sis skietami necilais pakalnins Bartas un Vartajas upes sateka patiesiba ir sens kursu pilskalns.
Uzraksts uz koka staba upes krauja vesta, ka te atrodas Vartajas pilskalns, tomer izskatas, ka te ir darisana ar viltojumu. Kartes un interneta avotos redzams, ka istais Vartajas pilskalns atrodas krietni uz ziemeliem, ir samera liels, bagats arheologiskiem atradumiem un saistits ar ieverojamiem vesturiskiem notikumiem, ko savas dziesmas ir pieminejusi ari musu milie paganmetalisti Skyforger: (visit link) ; (visit link) .
Savukart sis viltojums patiesiba ir Krutes, aridzan Bartas vai Kaletu pilskalns (pedejam aridzan ir varda bralis citviet), kura nocietinajumu sistema bijusi orienteta uzbrukumiem no Bartas upes puses.
Valsts nozimes aizsargajamais kulturas piemineklis (arheologijas), ieklauts saraksta 1998.g. ar nr. 1346.
Kapec Ihtiophilia? Stasts par pilskalnu nav vienigais interesantais seit, meklejiet un jus atradisiet. :)
Slepnis tika izvietots laivu brauciena laika, tadel mums nav informacijas par pieklušanas iespejam no krasta. Toties, ja braucat ar laivam, tad so vietu varam rekomendet naksmitnei.
Si pasa iemesla del slepnis nav pilna komplektacija- trukst GC uzlime, apraksts nejausiem atradejiem un zimuldrazamais. Priecasimies, ja jums iespejams ar kaut ko no ta palidzet.
Ja ir interese, tad tuveja apkartne atrodami un apskatami majorata robezstabi, kas tiek uzskatiti par samera unikalam vestures liecibam Latvija. Viens atrodas Vartaja upes krasta pie bijusa Balta kroga, otrs- pie Latvijas–Lietuvas robezas 100 m uz dienvidaustrumiem no Mazkrutes kapiem, 30 m no Latvijas robezstaba (nr 0172), klaja vieta – domajams, uz veca cela vietas. Informacija par stabiem nemta no aprakstiem, tadel lielaku precizitati pagaidam nevaram piedavat.
[EN] Fortification building on heights like this river junction was typical in Kurzeme. This little elevation in the junction of Barta and Vartaja rivers is not an exception- actually this is castlemound where fortifications were built by the Couronians a long time ago.
The inscription here says that this is Vartaja Castlemound, but as we find, it is fake. Actual Vartaja Castlemound is located some kilometres North, and it is really large and famous, while this little one is Krutes Castlemound (also Bartas or Kaletu). Fortifications here were build accounting that posible attacks would come from Barta river side. The castlemound is State cultural monument since 1998.
Why Ihtiophilia? Seek for it, and you will see.
The cache was located during boat trip, so we have no idea how to get there on foot or car. If you are going by boat too, we recommend this place for stay to rest.
