Graves of German soldiers of the Second World War
Memorialinis vieta
It is located next to the so-called Ķeizardambi, about half a kilometer northeast of the former Auermann houses. Ķeizardambis is an 8 km long road marked on the German army maps of the First World War with this name. It started at the former Kurland Denkmal, or as it was later called in the people - Mātīte monument, and ended at the mentioned former houses of Aurmans. Today, the northeast-southwest direction of the Keizerdambis can be walked or cycled along its entire length. Approximately 4 km long, it stretches as a forest-land (in some places - with large gravel fragments) road, 4 km - as a gravel road (coincides with the Abermans and Egles-Kaulupes roads built by the Latvian State Forests). The section between the Elges - Kaulupes road and the Abermani road is also called Mātīte stiga in LVM maps. In its middle part, the Keizerdam crosses a beautiful massif of inland dunes, in the vicinity of which wartime trenches and construction sites can be seen on LIDAR maps. A white wooden cross has been installed near Ķeizardambje at the place where 21 soldiers of the German army were buried (fallen around 20.09.1944).
