Description
This route takes its name from the stream The Mark (Marcq) which flows into the Dender. From the center of Herne you cycle through a hilly landscape to Galmaarden, with here and there a Brabant draught horse in the meadow. The route continues towards Bever and then to flirt with the border of Wallonia. Typical of this region are the many farms and chapels that "paint" the landscape.
This route is offered by Tourism Flemish Brabant.

Wednesday, August 10, 2022 by Philippe MetelmannNice route. Signage is definitely in order at the moment (route done on 10/08/2022). Encountered plenty of bistros along the way.

Tuesday, April 27, 2021 by P.R.Beautiful scenery, very quiet roads. Much more pleasant driving than along rivers where crowding has increased a lot lately. All signs were present and well visible. And highly recommended!

Friday, May 25, 2018 by F.V.Beautiful route but not rideable without GPS. Numerous signs are missing.
With GPS however a super ride. Hilly and sometimes tough but for an experienced cyclist and especially with an e-bike certainly doable.
Not many places to drink along the way so it is best to take some liquid provisions with you. It is recommended to stop every now and then to contemplate the surroundings.
