Walking in the Netherlands
The coastline of the Netherlands is part of the North Sea Trail, a walking route circumnavigating the North Sea.
The long distance walking routes of The Netherlands are known in their abbreviated form LAW's. The 35 LAWs cover the whole country mainly on unpaved paths with a total length in excess of 6,000 kilometres.
In typical Dutch fashion the routes are organised in such a way that can be accessed easily via their extensive public transport network. The routes are joined together at points where accommodation is also available.

Netherlands, Noaberpad
Report of all the sections of the Noaberpad. The Noaberpad (Noaber is - in dialect - the word for neighbour, so it means “the path of the neighbours) is a 415 km. long distance way marked trail between Nieuweschans (Netherlands) and Emmerich or Kleve (Germany). Between the North Sea and the Rhine River.
It runs through the most sparsely populated areas of both countries. Old fortified villages and constructions (Oudeschans, Bourtange), polders, forgotten peat moorlands, characteristic farms, woodlands.
The trail follows the banks of canals, ditches and creeks (towpaths), runs across meadows and arable lands, small and wide footpaths in the forests, church paths, cycle paths and sometimes small asphalt rural roads. A remarkable and surprising trail. Ever changing scenery. Height: 1 - 60 m. 90% of the trail is as flat as a pancake. Read more

The Almelo-Nordhorn canal, start digging in 1884 and barely used by skippers, now is an unique nature reserve. The watermills of Frans and Bels. Or the meandering Dinkel river. There are several fens, marshes and peat bogs on trail. The Mosbeek and Springen dales (with barrow hills, Iron Age, and water sources).
