Regional Paths

Regional Paths

In the Netherlands, a regional path is a recreational walking path of more than 80 km. Usually also a closed route, which means that the starting and ending points are the same. Characteristic of these paths are the yellow-red markings. This page deviates from this definition, there are multi-day hikes through certain regions, some of which almost meet the definition of a regional trail. All paths can be walked as a long-distance walk, but also per stage as a day walk. This means that the path can be covered in stages of 10 to 20 km over several days. The paths can be walked based on a description or based on a GPS track per stage.
