The LF Cycling Club also wants to contribute to drawing more attention to the Dead Wire from 14-18. Especially now that an exhibition is also being held in the Achelse Kluis about the great 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 track to commemorate the wire of death is the municipality of Maasmechelen, which planted no fewer than 35,000 crocuses in 2018. One must take into account that the bicycle/walking ferry is out of service in spring and autumn. , Then make a round of it from FKP 1 and 22! At FKP 24 you cross the bridge to see the monument 14 -18 at the first street on the left.

Luisterplek 216 - Weergaloze vernieling

12
6051CR Maasgouw

This listening point is part of the Liberation Route. This is a remembrance route along the most important regions of the Allied advance during the Second World War. In September 1944, the Germans blew up all ships in the port of Maasbracht. At this listening point you will hear the story behind this event. During the Second World War, ships on the Maas were often under fire. Schippers took refuge with their families in the port of Maasbracht and in the vicinity of the port. They had no cargo to transport anyway and they were afraid of being fired. The Germans were afraid that these ships would fall into the hands of the Allies and on September 29 they called on all people to abandon their ships for the next day. When all ships were unmanned, they were blown up one by one, even the ships around Maastricht and on the Juliana Canal.
