Cycling

During the First World War, some power cables were laid to prevent people from crossing the border. This memorial was erected here in 1920 to commemorate the victims of Sippenaeken.

In 1915, the German occupying forces ordered the erection of an electric fence with high voltage from Vaals to Knokke along the Dutch border in order to finally curb the flight of young Belgians who wanted to voluntarily fight for Belgium on the Yser front. The memorial is for the soldiers who lost their lives as a result.
