Doodendraad round (9/14) 14 -18 Hoogerheide - Antwerp

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 540 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. You will find a private reconstruction if you take the trouble to cycle left after FKP 17 to the indicated point, near Bistro De Neus. The first part up to FKP 59 along the Scheldt is of the existing route, here you can go straight through the Tunnel to FKP 44 to follow the entire route. Those who choose Antwerp as their starting point can still choose the Sluisstraat in 2019, so nice between the two striking buildings and close to the Sasdok on the Rijnkaai. On this route, discover the beautiful village on the Scheldt that was Dutch until 1839, now shown on the map as a fort.
