Taurkalne German army warehouses Infrastruktūra

Approximately 0.7 x 0.4 km large, wooded area north of the Jelgava - Krustpils railway and east of Taurkalne village, crossed by a forest road and trails. In nature and on LIDAR maps, about 100 quadrangular pits dug in straight rows with small ramparts and an exit are visible. According to Daumantas Krastiņas: "German warehouses are partially buried in the ground. The superstructure has a wooden or corrugated tin roof. Here some longer ones with entrances at either end were staff barracks. Next to it was a normal and rural railway station of the First World War, but during the Second World War the superstructure could be restored and used for the supply of the Nord group, using the nearby Daugava bridge. If ammunition was stored during the Second World War, then they managed to use it up to the release in the air on 19 or 20.09.1944." Local residents' stories about the German army's underground passages and a bunker buried in one of the nearby hills, as well as a German train that "went underground under the mountain" have been preserved.
