The highest outcrop on the Kaunas Reservoir, with a lookout point, is loved by wedding photographers and picnickers. It offers a panorama of the reservoir and an island popular with rare birds, and in the distance you can see the Kruonis Pumped Storage Plant. Next to the lookout there is a car park, fire pits and a shelter. Visitors like to walk the paths along the steep slopes, picnic in nature or walk through the forest to the Dovainonys hillfort and burial mounds. In 2005 the site was declared a protected state geological natural heritage object. The outcrop's rocks – moraine pillars and layers of loam and sandstone – formed in the late glacial period. Geologically the slope is particularly valuable because it was created by a rare phenomenon: the advance and retreat of a glacier. The whole outcrop covers 2.38 hectares. Archaeologists believe there were three villages in the Dovainonys area in the 4th–5th centuries, and 25 barrow cemeteries were found on their sites in the interwar period. While historians plan further research, locals tell at least three different legends about Mergakalnis (Maiden's Hill). Some say the slope got its name because immoral girls were once pushed off it. Another legend tells of the beautiful daughter of a local lord who fell in love with a stable boy. The rich man was furious, so the stable boy was sent off as a recruit and the daughter was locked up. But one night the girl, dressed in white, harnessed the horses and drove straight off the bluff. Ever since, when the moon lays its path on the Nemunas at full moon, she can be seen combing her hair and singing. The third legend tells of a queen named Katerina who was fleeing from enemies in a carriage. She chose to drive off the bluff rather than surrender to her pursuers.
