    Reconstruction of the death wire that stood there in our war past.
    On the lookout tower you have a beautiful view of the beautiful surroundings in all four directions.

    During the First World War, the border between occupied Belgium and the neutral Netherlands was sealed shut.
    The German occupiers built an unprecedented barrier of high voltage cables: the death wire no less than 450 km long. You died a horrible death at the slightest touch.
