[ENG] Darznicas fort hill located in Madona region, at Viesiena village. elevation ~250m.
[LV] Darznicas kalns atrodas Madonas rajona Aronas pagasta (agrak Viesienas pag.?) ~1. km no Viesienas. Tas ir savrups , ~30 m augsts, iegarens paugurs ar dabiski stavam D, R un ZR nogazem. Augšdala pilskalna nogazes maksligi izveidotas stavakas, un 3-6 m zem plakuma limena izrakts gravis ar valni arpuse, kurš R nogaze pariet terase. ZA puse, kur nogaze ir vislezenaka, plakuma aizsardzibai izveidoti 3 gravji un valni. Pilskalna plakums ir slips (kritums 16 m), ~110 m garš un 40-50 m plats. 20. gs. 20. gados, ierikojot deju laukumu, dala kulturslana norakta. Darznicas kalns ka pilskalns registrets 20. gs. sakuma. Ir izteikti uzskati, ka Darznicas kalna bijusi 1212. g. Jersikas dališanas dokumenta mineta Negestes pils, jo dažus kilometrus uz ziemeliem atradušas Nigestes majas, kas tagad nojauktas. Ir teikas, ka kalna nogrimusi pils, ka kalna laiku palaikam paradoties Brinumavots, bet terases izveidotas zviedru laikos, lai kalna varetu uzvest lielgabalus. No E. Brastina gramatas “Latvijas pilskalni” ir informacija, ka agrak blakus Darznicas kalnam ir bijis Pupu krogs, kas nodedzis. Tagad tur ir pamests veikals un blakus jaunbuveta, bet nepabeigta dzivojama maja. Deju laukumu lidzinot atrasti dažadi metala priekšmeti. Meginajuma rakums devis lauskas, akmenus, kaulus un nelielu bronzas spiraliti. Avotinš radoties tikai vienam pašam. Tikko vedot otru cilveku lidzi, avotinu vairs neredzot. Reiz kads iespraudis avotina žagaru un tad vedis draugu radit. Žagars bijis, bet avotinu neredzejuši. Melno zemi, kas kalngala esot zaldati no lejas ar cepurem sanesuši, kas ir plaši izplatits nostasts par pilskalniem, tacu nostasts par lielgabalu vešanu pa terasem ir visai apšaubams, jo terases ir parak šauras, lai tas izveidotu par celu.
[ENG] Darznicas hill in Madona district, ~1 km from Viesiena. It is a freestanding, ~ 30 m high, elongated mound with the naturally steep, D, W and NW slopes. Top of the hill slopes artificially created steeper. North side, the protection of the plateau formed three ditches and ramparts. Mound is a sloping plateau (16 m drop), ~ 110 m long and 40-50 m wide. In 20th century 20th, creating the dance area, part of the cultural layer was digged off. Have expressed views that Darznicas hill was mentioned in 1212th Jersika splitting document that there was Negestes castle, called after Nigestes farmhouse to the north, nowdays not existing. There are legends - that there is a castle under the hill that sunk, and that there is mirracle stream that appers time to time when you are alone there, and the patio set up in "Swedish times", to carry up the hill guns. E. Brastinš book "Latvian mounds" have information that in the past near Darznicas mountain has been the Bean Tavern, which burned down. Now there's a derelict shop and the newly built but unfinished house. When the dancing square was flattened in 20th some artifacts was found, like gave fragments, stones, bones and a small bronze items. There is also a legend that the hilltop black soil was brought up by soldiers in ancient times with their hats, that is very common story for mounds, but the story of the guns kept in the terraces is quite questionable, because the terraces are too narrow to create a path for them.
Tale in latvian - Teika
Kadu versti no Viesienas muižas ir Darznicas kalns. Tani vieta, kur tagad kalns, vecos laikos bijuse grezna pils. Bet vienreiz – vai Velns, vai kas – uzgazis šai pilij virsu kalnu. Ta palicies ilgu laiku. Te vienu dienu kads šejienietis gajis par kalnu un piepeši ieraudžijis durvis. Gajis iekša un atradis varenas istabas, pilnas ar naudu. Vecs, sirms virs turpat sedejis un sargajis dargumus. Vinš bijis itin laipns, vel atlavis ienacejam pagrabties no zelta un smaididams izvadijis lauka. Tikai škiroties aplam cieši noteicis, lai neplapajot nevienam, ko te redzejis. Labu laiku neteicis ari, bet otra gada izstastijis tacu citiem un vel aizvedis lidz paradit. Iegajuši, bet tagad sirmgalvis vairs nebijis tik laipns, tulin uzsaucis: “Tie citi visi ara, bet tu, plapa, paliec te!” Nelidzejis nekas, bijis japaliek zemes apakša un nekad vairs neticis ara.
