close together are Ladakalnis and Piliakalnis. I would recommend you park by Piliakalnis and walk to Ladakalnis and back. I would recommend even more you stay for a day in the area, and wander around. Really pretty place.

For me Cognitive trail in Nagliai nature reserve was the highlight of the Lithuanian trip. Place is beautiful. And best experience 2e can buy. I am fully aware this is due to heavy winds that where blowing while we were visiting. It felt like middle of Sahara, we saw dunes moving and forming, it was just fabulous.

It's amazing place to walk and enjoy unusual environment. At the top of Parnidis dune a wonderful view opens up. Walking the dune strange feeling keeps like someone is watching you. You can find traces of deers or other forest animals. Recommend!

One hour from hotel. Fantastic place. A lot of piliakalnis local name for fortress hills in a large valley where a river flows. Incredibly relaxing place. There is also an archaeological museum.
