Dead wire round (6/14) 14 - 18 Reusel - Baarle-Nassau/Hertog

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. At the old Station location for the exit you will also see information on signs about the Doodendraad  and after the exit for Baarle Nassau/Hertog one comes across a reconstruction of a switch house for FKP 8 on the Border and after 8 and Zondereigen another one on the border in the direction of FKP 81. If one comes via the Loveren, one sees Baarle again 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 therefore the bell on the left for Belgium and on the right for the Netherlands on the frame. You should also not miss the information point about this place near the church. The return route is also beautiful through the nature of the Utrecht Estate.
