The Jaungarandži Church Hill was inspected a few years ago, when the alder forest growing on the Church Hill had been recently cut off. Currently, the former clearing place is overgrown with about 3 – 4 m high leafy trees and a green young forest stand, and it is practically unwalkable. Along one side of the Church Hill, which in reality is not a hill but a flat highland’s corner against the Jogla river, there is a pasture delimited off by electric fence.
Narrative
Another story tells that they wanted to build up a church on the slope of the little Ugurpils River. There is still an elevation at the edge of the mentioned river within the territory of the Jaungaranžas homestead called the Church Hill. Some 10 years ago, an elderly woman narrated that in older times on this hill, there were children crying around the midnight and one could see people with long hair bathing downwards in the river.
