The LF Cycling Club also wants to contribute to drawing more attention to the Death Wire from 14-18. Especially now that there is also an exhibition in the Achelse Kluis about the major explosion of the German ammunition trains at Hamont station in 1918. According to the ED, almost 30 municipalities are participating in this commemoration of the 350 km long electric border barrier in those years. The leader of a white crocus route to commemorate the death thread is the municipality of Maasmechelen, which will plant no fewer than 35,000 crocuses. At FKP 217 before the entrance to De Kluis you will find the first Death Wire reconstruction, followed by the 2nd before the Border in Bergeijk (Weebosch), between FKP 22 and 18 and the highway between FKP 2 and 15.

St.-Benedictusabdij - De Achelse Kluis
Achelse Kluis 1
B-3930 Hamont-Achel
http://www.achelsekluis.org/
The Achelse Kluis has been a place where people settle for prayer and spirituality for centuries. Even today, there are still people who go here for peace and internalization. De Kluis is located on the border of North Brabant (NE) and North Limburg (BE) on the banks of the Warmbeek (BE) / Tongelreep (NE). The beer that is brewed in the Kluis is one of the few that can call itself Trappist beer, because there are only 11 beers that can bear this title.
