Dead wire round (8/14) 14 -18 Wernhout - Hoogerheide

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 thread of death is the municipality of Maasmechelen, which will plant no fewer than 35,000 crocus bulbs in October 2018 out of a total of 125,000 crocus bulbs.
On this part of the route you will find a memorial point at the viewing tower and if you take a detour between FKP 70 and 80 via Kalmthout, you will also find a  at a turning point. It ends at the monastery in Hoogerheide, also a VVV point. Via a loop you return to Wernhout where you start this round.
