Fietsroute - Dodendraad Grensroute van Vaals tot aan Cadzand

The Border Route (Grensroute), winds along the Belgian-Dutch border between the tri-point Drielandenpunt and the North Sea. It follows the Wire of Death, an electric border fence from WWI to prevent smugglers, spies, deserters and front-line volunteers reaching the neutral Netherlands from Belgium. 540 kilometres along 26 reconstructions, monuments and stories of the Death Wire. Either from the hills near Vaals to the Zwin nature reserve at Cadzand, or the other way round.

A cycle adventure on quiet country roads and separated cycle paths. Seven to ten days of pedalling through a varied landscape of hills, rivers, marshland, forests and moorland, through unique border villages and past the vibrant cities of Maastricht and Antwerp. A long-distance cycle route using a cycle junction network for cyclists at all levels. Be amazed by all you can explore in this border region!
