Dead wire round (12/14) 14 -18 Hulst - Westdorpe

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. When we leave Hulst, after FKP 50 at the border, we see a reconstruction before FKP 80 and between 80 and before 88 you will find another reconstruction point just outside the route at the border, so turn right there for 300m on a gravel path. In Koewacht, too, glazed pavement tiles on Bergstaat show how the wire of death ran through this street there. And on the cozy terrace of the"De Grens\\\" catering business, just like on the corner of the street to the church, there is also a sign with information about the Doodendraad, etc.
