Ķoņu vrchns is the largest drumlin in Latvia and Eastern Europe, formed by the melting of glaciers. Its absolute height is 92.6 m, relative height 35 m, length 9.6 km, width 2.4 km. From Ķoņu Hill you can observe the distinctive natural and cultural landscapes of the area, swing on the large wooden swings, sit in the Wind Carriage, the Divine Chair and enjoy the vast landscape of the Burtnieki Depression.

Ķoņu Hill has a small pond in the shape of the Baltic Sea, and a stone nature trail by it. It will be interesting to see the various stones brought from the north of Scandinavia by the melting of the glacier and placed in very prominent positions by the Baltic Sea pond, thus symbolising from which side the stones were washed.

This exhibition with the Baltic Sea model is unique, and the collection of 50 stones placed in the current places of origin provides an opportunity to gain knowledge not available elsewhere. An open-air stage has been created at the top of Ķoņu Hill, where the annual Ķoņu Hill Festival, Midsummer celebrations and other cultural events take place.
