Ancient hillfort

Konuvere linnus

German: Konofer

Konuvere linnus

The country town of Konuvere (also called Puenkalle, Paekalle) was an ancient fortress whose location remains today in the village of Konuvere, the municipality of Wetland in Rapla County. The hillfort is located on the right bank of the Vigala River about one kilometer upstream of the Tallinn-Pärnu road bridge. The northern boundary of the hillfort is the natural slope of the backbone up to six metres high, the east side is limited by a three-metre-high step; the outlines are difficult to separate from the rest of the arches. From the southern arches, the waterlogged Vigala River and also the stream flowing into the river was a natural obstacle to the fortress.
