The Herk rises in Rukkelingen-Loon (municipality of Heers) near the provincial border Limburg - Liège. She receives additional nourishment near Sint-Lambrechts-Herk by the incoming Mombeek. At the border between Herk-de-Stad and Halen it flows into the Gete.

Hiking

De Herk runs here in a quiet natural setting. The natural unpaved walking path follows the right bank. In the background the first cuckoo call of spring. Just an equally beautiful piece of Zwarte Winterbeek behind it... A picture that is finished.
