Description
Small-scale landscape with pools, wood edges and meadows. The Merkske, a tributary of the Mark, is an authentically meandering stream. It forms the natural border between the Netherlands and Belgium and between the Noorderkempen and North Brabant. Wooded hedges and bramble walls, flowery meadows, pools, heath-rich grasslands and lots of black alders, which love to stand with their feet in the water, adorn the landscape. The Agency for Nature and Forests, Natuurpunt and Staatsbosbeheer, guarantee more than 1,900 hectares of exceptional nature and landscape here.

Wednesday, December 31, 2025 by V.E.Beautiful route through natural landscape, first bit along road, afterwards more than compensated by rest of the route. Highly recommended!!! Tip for the disappointed first reviewer, use the hiking app and download the route as gpx on an additional hiking app. Bet you will find your way then ? # Never stop exploring.

Sunday, June 15, 2025 by L.A.What seemed like a promising hike was a letdown. It went well up to junction 23 in Belgium, didn't find junction 53 in the Netherlands, walked the whole time along a busy road with lots of traffic and retraced our steps.
