Description
From Hoogstraten to Meersel-Dreef
The start and end point of this route is in the center of Hoogstraten. Here you can take a look at St. Catherine's Church, one of the tallest brick buildings in Europe, or at the Beguinage, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. From here you cycle to the village of Meersel-Dreef. This is the northernmost town in all of Belgium. If you are ready for a break, you can relax here on a terrace with an'Erbizzem\\\', a strawberry beer.
Strawberries from the vending machine
Then you cycle back to Hoogstraten via Meer. Along the way you cycle along the winding river De Mark in the Mark Valley. A little further on, this stream becomes a wide river that eventually flows into Breda.

Then you can taste the so-called 'Hoogstraatse queens' during or after your trip.
