Ezerkalni Devil’s Lap

The Ezerkalni Devil’s Lap is an explicit ancient burial hillock of the early period. There are several large birch trees, a lime tree, and underbrush on the hillock. In the highest part, i.e. the central part, there is an old now overgrown dug-up pit — a potatoe cellar or a dugout. Otherwise the hillock looks undestroyed. There is nearly no stone visible either on it or by it. At the foot of the hillock against the Staicele – Aloja highway, there were summer solstice celebrations held and a summer solstice bonfire made not long ago. At the bonfire on top of a box, there was a Devil’s head carving in a log left supplemented by billy goat hoarns. It seems that it can be considered as a modern expression of the Devil’s folklore of the ancient Ezerkalni Devil’s Lap.
