The Ezerlūķi Hillfort with a height of around 30 m is situated on the eastern shore of the Lake Zebrus. From the other side, it looks like a tree-covered hill in the middle of the field. Its western slope on the side of the Lake Zebrus is very steep, but the opposite slope passes gently into the surrounding fields. Legend has it that a ‘Path of Gods’ or ‘Path of Priests’ had extended from the Elkus Hill across the lake, leading to the Ezerlūķi Hillfort. In times of danger, the priests would rush along this underwater path to find shelter in the Ezerlūķi Castle and its fortifications. Nowadays, this road is used by the forest animals. Hydro-archaeological research confirms that there had really been a naturally formed ridge of rocks with a width of 5–20 m and a length of 400 m at the depth of 0.5–2 m. The large forest animals had used it to cross the lake.
