Route of Commemoration, information board 21

The back of the plaque bears the heading "Mines: Deadly Danger for the Population" and describes individual tragedies where local people fell victim to insidious mines during and even after the war.
The front of the information board deals with the Rocherather hedgerows (?).

When US troops took Rocherath-Krinkelt on September 12, 1944, this beautiful village also became a battlefield. For several months the front ran in a large wooded area towards the west wall. German shock troops sometimes came as far as Rocherath-Krinkelt to reconnoitre. They also laid mines, which endangered residents in addition to shelling. Information board 21 commemorates the numerous people who were seriously injured or even killed by these mines. Source: information board on site.

On the way in the German-Belgian border area of the "Hohe Fens / Eifel Nature Park", the hiker not only encounters the beautiful nature, but also time and again signposts and information boards of the "Sentier du souvenir" ("Path of Remembrance"). This is a cross-border community project that – over a total length of 94 kilometers, mainly along the former West Wall – reminds of the horrors of war and tyranny and reminds each generation anew to preserve peace (still a very important and, if we look at Eastern Europe, highly topical concern).
Particularly striking (or better: noteworthy) stations on this "path of remembrance" are marked with an information board - an invitation to pause on one's own (life) path.
