The trail leads along Durbe's mound and Durbe's pond. 13th century a battle took place here between the combined troops of the German Livonian Order and the Zemaish, whose side the Kursi conscripted into the order's troops also defected. One of the biggest battles in ancient times is reminded of the memorial stone installed on the hill of Durbe for the victory of Žemaši over the crusaders, which was brought from Žemaitija and installed on the 750th anniversary of the battle of Durbe. The ruins of the castle of the German order built in the 14th century can also be seen on the Durbe hill. The courtyard of the castle was surrounded by a high wall, part of which still stands on the southern side. The castle served to protect the important road that led from Prussia to Livonia, and it was destroyed already 300 years ago. An observation platform has been built on the top of Pilskalns, which allows you to observe the magnificent landscape of Durbe's surroundings.
