Dodendraad (Death Wire) Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

The Wire, also called Death Wire or Death Fence, was a 332 kilometer long wire barrier that was constructed by the German occupiers of Belgium during the First World War along the border between occupied Belgium and the neutral Netherlands. In German documents the barrier was officially referred to as Grenzhochspannunghindernis. The barrier was under deadly electrical voltage and was intended to prevent war volunteers and German deserters from fleeing Belgium. The fencing was also intended to prevent espionage messages from occupied territory from reaching Allied espionage services via the Netherlands and to prevent smuggling. The Wire is estimated to have killed many hundreds of people, but could not prevent thousands of people from crossing the border in many ways. After the war, the death fence was quickly demolished.

Pond in the Kempen

Highlight • Lake

Beautiful and very quiet location. In early spring the countless frogs clearly feel in their element here because the mating season has started and then they become very vocal. They are so well camouflaged that it is very difficult to spot them, but once you walk along the bank, dozens of frogs jump around.
