In this lesson, the students have the opportunity to travel to the year 1919, dividing into teams, the students will assume the roles of two opponents - the Latvian army and Bermont's troops. Using the appropriate equipment, they will perform various tasks, create defensive positions, go scouting, and create hideouts in order to find out the historical winner at the end of the lesson. A circular walking path has been created along the route, which includes an armory, a dugout, an artillery point, and a cannon. All mentioned points of interest are located where evidence of their location has been found in archaeological excavations. This route also includes a memorial stone for those who died in the freedom struggle and a model of the soldiers' settlement as it was during the First World War.
