Karātavkalns (Gallows Hill)
The Gallows Hill is located to the east of Zlēkas manor which was once a sanctuary of ancestors - a place of idols. In later times, the Crusaders and landlords turned it into a place of punishment to scare people away from it with their terrible actions. Mighty grand trees grow on the hill and a recreation park has been created with the environmental objects Phoenix and the Eye of the Universe. Zlēkas Recreation Park is designed as a monument to people with special abilities.
To the west of the hill there is a mass grave of the victims of the Zlēkas tragedy. In December 1944, German SD and SS units exterminated 160 residents of Zlēkas Parish for supporting nationalist partisan-Kurels.
You can find all tourist attractions of Zlēkas Parish here:
