It crosses the Riga HES – Aizkraukles (P85) road opposite Priežu Hill and 0.2 km west of the roundabout with the Bauska – Aizkraukles (P87) road. Between the P85 road and the Daugava, for about 200 m, a pronounced dry bed is visible instead of the stream, because in this section and another 300 m upstream of the road, the water disappears into five waterholes. Downstream of the P85 road, the stream is located in a deep ravine with steep slopes. On the banks of the stream and the Daugava, trenches from both (?) World Wars of the 20th century are visible. 150 m east of the Radži stream was a bridge built by the German army over the Daugava during World War II, from which bridge piers have been preserved on both banks. From the Radži stream, a good view opens up of the piers of the aforementioned bridge on the right slope of the Daugava bank.
