Dead wire round (13/14) 14 -18 Westdorpe - Sint-Laureins

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 units in October 2018, out of a total of 125,000 units of crocus bulbs. On this route near Boekhoute between FKP 89 and 49 there is first a reconstruction and a work of art and in Boekhoute itself they have set up a museum in the left part of the church about the war 14-18 and in the right part about the war 40-45. The village itself is worth a tour, also for its tourist office and castle with the fishing boat in front of the church!
