Peninsula in Belgium, Merkske river valley

Castelré 11.5 km

A piece of the Netherlands with Belgian northern and southern neighbours! Its borders are meandering streams, untouched. Time has stood still here. You come to rest in the small-scale landscape, where silence prevails. The Merkske is one of the most beautiful brooks in the Netherlands and Flanders.

  • Start at Café in Holland in Castelré.
  • Starting point are the nodes of Wandelroutenetwerk Brabant West and Antwerp Kempen.
  • The Merkske is a protected area. It is home to rare animals and plants.
  • A great reason to stay here a bit longer.
