Overview

  • Embark on a journey through Latvia’s hidden military past, where abandoned Soviet landscapes and powerful memorials reveal the country’s complex 20th-century history. Begin in Mežgarciems, a former Soviet military village surrounded by peaceful forests. Once a restricted military settlement, its residential buildings, and military structures remain as reminder of the Soviet era.
    Continue to the More Battle Museum, located near the historic battlefield where fierce fighting took place in 1944. Surrounded by forests and traces of the former battlefront, the museum features military equipment, weapons, photographs, and battlefield relics.
    The journey concludes at the Salaspils Memorial, built on the site of the former camp during the Nazi occupation of Latvia. Its monumental sculptures and massive concrete wall create a solemn landscape, commemorating those who suffered and died here. Surrounded by forests and open fields, the memorial leaves a powerful impression.
