The Ragakāpa Nature Park in Latvia, especially near Jūrmala, is not only known for its beautiful coastal landscapes and pine forests, but also contains relics from the Second World War. Here you will come across small bunkers and other concrete structures built during the war years. They served as defensive fortifications and strategic observation posts along the coast to protect the Baltic coast.
These remnants of the military past add an interesting historical dimension to the nature park. During the occupation by the German Wehrmacht and later under Soviet control, such positions were used strategically to secure control over the Baltic region. Today they are colorfully painted and partially overgrown, making them seem like hidden works of art in the forest.
