Description by the author

Para cerrar herméticamente la frontera entre la Bélgica ocupada y la "neutral" Países Bajos durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, había una barrera eléctrica que iba desde la costa hasta Aken, donde había alta tensión: el Dodendraad. La electricidad era bastante desconocida en los Kempen. No fue hasta la década de 1920 que se instaló la red eléctrica allí. Muy pronto, los habitantes de los Kempen experimentaron que el alambre no solo era una cerradura, sino también un arma formidable. Cientos de personas fueron electrocutadas durante intentos de escape (o debido a otras causas) entre 1915 y 1918.
Durante este recorrido pasamos junto a una de las reconstrucciones del Dodendraad y junto a una casa de conmutación reconstruida.
Quienes deseen saber más sobre esto pueden visitar http://www.dodendraad.org/ También ha aparecido un libro muy interesante sobre el Dodendraad: 'Alta tensión en la frontera belgo-neerlandesa'.
