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 of the total of 125,000 crocus bulbs in October 2018.
On this part of the route you will find a memorial point at the viewing tower and if you take a detour via Kalmthout between FKP 70 and 80 you will also find one there. at a turning point. It ends at the monastery in Hoogerheide, also the tourist information point. Via a loop you return to Wernhout where you start this circuit.
