The mountain is located about 12 km north of Šiauliai, 1.5 km east of the A12 trunk road, which runs from Šiauliai to Riga via Joniškis. The term “mountain of crosses” is common in German, but due to its low height of ten meters, the term hill is closer. A narrow staircase made of wooden planks leads over the saddle-shaped double hill. Pilgrims place crosses on this hill, often with a wish or thanks. The pilgrimage takes place individually and is not tied to any dates, but the Hill of Crosses is visited especially at weddings, births and at Easter.

The mountain of crosses is a catholic and a touristic pilgrimage place. A narrow staircase leads up to a hill and pilgrims bring crosses with a wish or thanks. Anyone can go on pilgrimages here, whenever he feels the desire.
