This reconstruction of the 'Death Wire' gives an excellent impression of the impact of this German barrier during WWI on the area and its inhabitants. Along this reconstruction are information boards that provide walkers with additional information about the original construction in 1916, the many escape methods that were attempted from Belgium to the Netherlands, but also the dramatic stories that took place at the wire.

The border between Belgium and the Netherlands, established in 1843, runs from border stone 177a of the St. Benedictuslaan diagonally through the green, over the 'De Kluis', across the terrain, through the buildings to border post 178, which stands at the back of the monastery grounds. On the road surface of 'De Kluis' the border is indicated with a white line and the flags of Nl and Be.

Nice border post at the Achelse vault. Definitely stop for a delicious cappuccino or something else to drink. A very nice courtyard where you can sit.

The Death Wire was an electric fence along the Belgian border during the First World War. It served as a deterrent for refugees and soldiers, with dangerous consequences for those who touched it. Today, you will find information panels where you can read more about this dark page in history.

A quiet cycle path through the nature reserve De Heide near Soerendonk, where you cycle between open heathlands, sandy paths and pieces of forest. This route offers a varied landscape with wide views and the smell of pine trees, ideal for a relaxing trip through nature. A beautiful place to experience the Brabant heath and the surrounding greenery.
