The Koningshooikt—Wavre Line, abbreviated to KW Line (French: Ligne KW; Dutch: KW-stelling) and often known as the Dyle Line after the Dijle (Dyle) river, was a 60 kilometres (37 mi)-long fortified line of defence prepared by the Belgian Army between Koningshooikt (Province of Antwerp) and Wavre (Province of Brabant) which was intended to protect Brussels from a possible German invasion.
