If you go west from the Dzintari – Vecumnieku road (P88) to the Lezmaņi (Lesmaņu, Lessmann) brothers' graves, beyond the stream that you have to cross are very interesting remains of a World War I fortification with a bunker and a fragment of a concrete wall. Judging by the remains of bunkers, positions of trenches and construction pits visible in nature and on LIDAR maps in a wider area - up to the Daugava, a larger military "complex" with buildings, warehouses, protective structures, etc. was located here during the relevant period. About a kilometer north of this place, on the banks of the Daugava, German armies are located concrete fire point.
