Below the P85 road, the stream is in a deep ravine with steep slopes. On the banks of the river and the Daugava are visible (?) the 20th century. World War II trenches. 150 m east of the Raju stream, there was a bridge over the Daugava built by the German army during the Second World War, from which the bridge supports have been preserved on both banks. There is a good view of the abutments of the said bridge on the right slope of the Daugava bank from the Rajju stream.
