There are several hillforts near Betygala, and they are of unique value in archaeological terms and in terms of their landscapes. These are found in the Dubysa regional park. At the foot of the first hillfort is the so-called Stream of the crooked eye, which is reminiscent of pagan times. The second hillfort used to have a pentagonal chapel made of brick that was put up there during the 19th century by the Yankovsky dynasty. In 2018, the hillforts were opened to visitors with pathways, an information infrastructure and viewing areas.
