Cycling along the Mark and through the forests near Breda

This route takes you through nature in the border area just below Brabant's Chaam. First you ride through the Prinsenbos, ideal for immediately switching down. Then you ride through the valley of the Chaamse Beek. From the saddle you look out over a landscape of species-rich grasslands and willows. You pass through a few hamlets, after which you cross the border with Belgium and ride through Meerle. Here you can, among other things, take a look at the fifteenth-century Sint-Salvatorkerk. Along the banks of the river Mark you ride back towards the Netherlands. You cycle through Meersel-Dreef, the northernmost village in Belgium. Finally you ride through the Mastbos and the Ulvenhoutse Bos, after which you get off at Wilgenhart and enjoy a terrace.
