It is located 300 m northwest of the Ķegums HPP dam (Ķegums prospect), in the territory of the Energy Museum. Relatively well preserved, visually impressive. It can be viewed only when visiting the Energy Museum, or from the north side, on the other side of the fence of the Ķegum HPP territory. This is one of the fire points of the defense line of the German army during the First World War on the left bank of the Daugava, which can more or less be traced along the entire length of the left bank of the Daugava. The aforementioned line of defense is a large-scale military system that has not really been evaluated as a whole until now.
