The memorial of the fallen officer of the 8th Estonian Rifle Corps of the Red Army, Jakob Kundera (deleted), is located at the cemetery 200 metres south-west of the Blidene-Remte road and the Riga-Liepaja railway junction.

On 17 March 1945, the last attempt of the Red Army's offensive in Kurzeme began. The task of the 7th Estonian Rifle Division of the Estonian 8th Rifle Corps was to reach the Riga-Liepaja...

It is located about 0.25 km east of the extension of a small stream (the stream flows near Lejasgrantinin) on the slope of the shore of the Ķegums HPP. From the Jaunjelgava - Ķeguma road (P85), you can look for it by walking along the bank of the Daugava (overgrown, before that - a forest clearing). A careful observer will also notice it from the river, as lush vegetation has grown here during the summer. The concrete parts of the fire point are covered with green moss, metal and wooden structures are visible in the opening. As a result of the action of the waves of the Ķegums HPP, the fire point is located on the edge of a washed-up shore, so it can be dangerous to visit. Nearby is a deep pit (bomb pit?). This is the eighth (from Ķegum HPP, in the direction of...

It is located in the forest 0.6 - 0.7 km south of the village of Latgali. The best idea of the territory can be obtained if it is studied in advance on LIDAR maps, because in nature the positions of trenches and other earth surface formations dug by people a century ago can be overlooked by the uninitiated. Judging by the remains of a brick oven and other signs visible in the excavations (done by someone else), German army barracks were located here. Next to the barracks, a narrow-gauge railway was built to supply the Daugava front line along the Great Kurfirsti dam from the modern Lāčplėš station along Birzgali and beyond. 0.5 km east of the barracks was the so-called Kurland Denkmal, but on the left bank of the Daugava in a 1.3 km radius around the...

About 22 km long narrow-gauge railway line from the time of the First World War, which started at the present Lāčplēš (Jelgava - Krustpils railway line) railway station (formerly Bahnhoff Kerghof), surrounded Birzgali from the east, crossed the Nega river, then turned to the west, crossing twice modern Abermani road (connects Ķegum with Vecumnieku (P88) road) and then moved along Ķeizardambi (Kaiser – Damm) to the former Kurland Denkmal, where, judging by the visible LIDAR map (divides into three branches?), the terminus station was located. The Kurzeme monument was located 680 m southeast of the village of Latgali. The main purpose of the railway was to provide and support the front of the left bank of the Daugava with the...

It is located on the peninsula between Pludinātijai and the village of Latgali. As a result of wave erosion, the object has slid down the bank slope to the current water level of the river. When the water level in the Ķegum HPP reservoir is higher, it is washed by the Daugava waters. When the water level is lower, it is completely dry. 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. The fire point can be seen well by taking a boat along the Ķegum HPP. The second option is to...

It is located in the reservoir of the Ķegum HPP, in a small bay, about 20-30 m from the Daugava bank in front of the houses of the Potters. The outline of the fire point appears only when the water level in the Ķegum HPP reservoir is lowered. The rest of the time they are under water and not visible. This is the third (from Ķegum HPP, in the direction of Jaunjelgava) 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. The remains of the fire point can be viewed at a lowered water level...

It is located about 0.1 km east of the Ķegum HPP reservoir bay near Silapūpēži, in the direction of Jaunjelgava. The fire point has slipped partially into the water, overgrown with trees, bushes and other vegetation, and to the uninitiated, a larger piece from the water side may resemble a larger stone. One of the landmarks is a birch tree growing on it. 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. The remains of the fire point can be seen by boat on the Ķegum HPP...

It is located about 0.25 km east of the Ķegum HPP reservoir bay near Silapūpēži, in the direction of Jaunjelgava, opposite the Sidrabiņi farm. The point of fire has slipped partially into the water and split into several parts, resembling a pile of construction debris. The coast is overgrown. 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. The remains of the fire point can be seen by boat on the Ķegum HPP. About 150 m west of the Daugava bank, the remains of another fire...

It is located in the Ķegum HPP reservoir at the Nega inlet (in front of the Nega houses), on its left bank. One of the most visually and scenically impressive and also the best-preserved concrete fireplaces, washed by the waves of the Daugava. It can be seen from a larger piece. A footbridge has been built from the shore to the top of the fire point (overgrown with grass). Narrow-gauge railway (?) tracks embedded in the concrete walls of the fire station. You can get inside from the side of the footbridge. 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...

It is located about 1.2 km east of a small extension of the stream (the stream flows near Lejasgrantiniņi) at the top of the steep bank slope of the Ķegum HPP in front of Andulii. The shore in this place is overgrown with forest and undergrowth, so only a keen observer will notice this fire point from the side of the reservoir. The fire point is well preserved as it has not been damaged by coastal erosion. 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. The fire point can be seen...

During the First World War, the so-called "Life and Death" front line was located in Daugavpils region for several years, where a complex system of fortifications was built. To this day, innumerable concrete bunkers, cannon and ammunition depots, trenches and cemeteries of soldiers on both sides of the front have been preserved in the forests of Svente and Medumi parishes.

It is located in Inčukalns municipality, on the side of the road near the village of Gauja, near the motorway A2 and A3 junction.

The fortification is a very rare and valuable example of a fortification. The building is designed for one person to observe an important traffic junction. In the NW direction there is a bridge over the Gauja, A - crossing over Inčupīte, SW - road branching and D - one of the main traffic roads - Vidzeme highway. The reinforced concrete fortification was part of the surrounding trenches...

Ferroconcrete machine gun bunkers were built in 1941. The word used in Estonian Dott – is an Estonian adaptation of a Soviet Army term ДОТ (долговременная огневая точка), literally translated as a point of constant firing. It is a closed defensive structure made of stone, concrete, armoured tiles etc.

Sarve-Lehtma defence line never saw much military action, as the enemy arrived from an unexpected direction. The defence line had been built on the eastern and northern coasts of Hiiumaa...

First World War Museum is located in Medumi village, Augšdaugava municipality, in the building of former workshops of Medumi elementary school ~600 m from the A13 road.

During the First World War, the territory of present-day Augšdaugava municipality was crossed by the "Life and Death" front line, on both sides of which trenches and bunkers were built. In the forests of Medumi parish, as well as in the forests of Demene and Svente parishes, German army bunkers have been preserved, which, unlike the wooden bunkers built by the Russian army...

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.

Located in the head of a small bay of the Pļaviņas HPP reservoir between Bitānes and Baloži, approximately opposite the Čoči cemetery. The fire point is perfectly camouflaged on a small dolomite rock ridge, merging with the surrounding landscape, over which the foliage of trees bends, so it is difficult for an uninitiated person to notice it. The remains of the fire point are located close to the water level (when it is not lowered in the reservoir) and can be recognized by the metal rods with which the contour of the structure was reinforced. The waves of the reservoir have severely eroded the shore.
