There are legends about the name of the hill, saying that flying geese used to rest here, and that devils live in its depths and boil cauldrons of hell. This is proven by a hole in the hill, where people used to find a pound of coal every day. Žąsūgalas was made famous by M. Valančius in his "Palangos Juzė": "Traveling through the pine forest, I climbed the Žąsino mountains: looking around, I saw Janapolio, Pavandenio, Luokės, and the towers of the Varniai church. It was snowy, and I slipped with my clogs, fell down, and rolled down the slope, banging and crashing, and the trees broke with a crackling sound. My clogs fell off my feet and clattered who knows where, and the straps flew deep into the hollow. The handle broke and crumbled, the scissors stuck out, but luckily they didn't pierce me. I would have died there, because my sides were cracking, and as I was falling, I would have hit the growing alder tree. As soon as I reached the bottom of the hill, I got up, groaning and moaning. I got up and said, "May you perish and never have existed! May you have collapsed long ago!"... Until the 14th century, Žąsūgala belonged to the Curonian land of Ceklis, and the name of the hill itself is also Curonian. It is believed that there was a large settlement (called Baltininkai) near the hill, and the hill itself was fortified and served as a defensive or guard hill. There are many places of interest in the vicinity of Žąsūgalos: the Sėbų hillfort, ancient burial grounds, graves of Russian soldiers from World War I, the Sėbų village chapel, a 16-branched linden tree, an oak tree, the beautiful Virvytė River valley, and the Baltininkai mill. The hill is 210 m high and offers magnificent views of the Samogitian Uplands and the Virvytė Valley.
