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

course

The river rises on the southern outskirts of Cassel , but is also fed by several small rivulets from the Sainte-Marie-Cappel area. It initially flows a little in a south-westerly direction, then turns sharply to the right between Cassel and Oxelaere and now runs to west-northwest through Zuytpeene and Noordpeene. It then bends in a large right-hand bend south of Arnèke around Ochtezeele and then flows in a north-easterly direction through Wormhout and its confluence with the Yser.
