Peene Becque

BW

The Peene Becque ( Peene river ), West Flemish Penebeke, is a 23.9 km long, orographic right tributary of the Yser in Nord in France.

Course

The river rises on the southern outskirts of Cassel, but is also fed by several small rivulets from the space Sainte -Marie- Cappel. It first flows in a southwesterly direction a bit, then bends between Cassel and Oxelaere sharply to the right and now runs west-north- west through Zuytpeene and Noordpeene. He then turns into a big right turn to the south of Arnèke to Ochtezeele around and then flows northeast through Wormhout and its confluence with the Yser contrary.
