The river Mark springs from the Zandvenheide in Merksplas. The Turnhout Fen area between Merksplas, Turnhout, and Baarle lies on the watershed between Maas (Dommel and Mark) and Schelde (Nete). The Mark flows north through Merksplas, Wortel, and Hoogstraten. On its way to the Netherlands, it is joined by the Kleine Mark, the Hollandse Loop, and the Merkske, among others.
In the Netherlands, the Bovenmark flows to Breda, where the Aa of Weerijs empties into it. The Mark continues its way in the singels of this city (see Centrum Breda). Near the village of Terheijden, the river makes a turn to the west. Here is also the connection with the Markkanaal and the boathouse of Roeivereniging Breda.
At Standdaarbuiten, the Bovenmark transitions into the Dintel, after which the river exits into the Hollandsch Diep via the Volkerak.
