Description

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. At the old Station location before the exit you will also see information on signs about the Doodendraad  and after the exit for Baarle Nassau/Hertog on the Grens you will come across a reconstruction of a switch house for FKP 8 and after 8 and Zondereigen again one on the border in the direction of FKP 81. When you enter Baarle again via the Loveren, you will see on the left a large sign about the Doodendraad and on the right the building with the border in the middle of the front door  and so on the left the bell for Belgium and on the right for the Netherlands on the window frame. Also, one should not skip the information point about this place at the church. The way back is also beautiful through the nature of Landgoed Utrecht.
