Ancient hillfort

Rõuge linnamägi

German: Rauge

Rõuge linnamägi

The small hillfort is located in the municipality of Pox in the village of Tindi, about 16 km southwest of the town of Võru, near the township of Pox. On the western end of the backbone between the Line Lake and the Nightingale Valley, an ancient town of the type of neem stronghold was located in ancient times. This small neem stronghold has apparently been in use as a fortified part of the Iron Age settlement (I Millennium II side). With an area of only 850 m2, the fortress was fortified by ramparts and ditch only from the east and west ends.
