The area of Ložmetējkalns (Machine Gun Hill) is unique because it is full of the evidence from the World War I and the Christmas battles. Today Ložmetējkalns has become a symbol of heroism and it serves as a memorial to the Latvian Riflemen. The watchtower is 27 metres high, offering visitors beautiful panoramic views and the sights where the Christmas battles took place.
Every year, at the beginning of January, memorial events are organized at Ložmetējkalns.
