Remains of a German army concrete firing point on an island in the Pļaviņa HPP reservoir
Infrastruktūra

Located on a small island (about 0.2 km long) in the Pļaviņas HPP reservoir, which is located close to the coast, opposite Baloži and Jāņa Kūpinātava. The island was created by forming the Pļaviņas reservoir and raising the water level, because before that it was part of the Daugava valley coast. The island is covered with a forest with thick undergrowth, where it is difficult to move. The fire point (suffered from shelling? blown up?) has only two well-preserved walls. It does not have a roof part.

The firing points of the German army's defensive line during World War I can be traced more or less along the entire length of the left bank of the Daugava from Ķegums to the Pļaviņas HPP reservoir, inclusive. The aforementioned defensive line is a large-scale military system that has not yet been properly assessed as a unified whole.

The fire point can be seen well from a boat. It will be more difficult to find from the shore.
