Description
Hoogstraat strawberries are considered the finest and tastiest in the country. With an annual production of over 25 million kilos, Hoogstraten is the undisputed center of strawberry cultivation. The Strawberry Route illustrates how important agriculture and horticulture are in this region. It combines the historic center of Hoogstraten with the beautiful Mark Valley and the vast countryside of the Belgian-Dutch border region. You cycle past many greenhouses with strawberries and strawberry fields. Ever picked a portion of ultra-fresh strawberries from a vending machine? This is your chance! Be sure to taste the 'Hoogstraat queens' during or after your trip.... Courtesy of Kempen.

Friday, June 28, 2019 by Lutgarde KipsBeautiful route, cycled many times . Very pleasant cycling, nice stops along the way.
One minus point I reported to tourism Hoogstraten, in Meerle pay attention when you turn right at the church into the town square, the owner of the café has put a terrace there, you have to ride on the sidewalk, I would turn right before the church and then left into the town square, further Hazenweg.

Monday, May 21, 2018 by Kristel AndriesThe route is currently shortened to 20 km
due to road works. Along the way you come across a vending machine where you can buy fresh strawberries and eat them at a bench. Absolute added value to this route. Beautiful rural roads. In the local tourist office you can get a map of the route, useful if you want to cycle longer. It does show the junctions in the neighborhood.
