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.
