Hiking and walking routes in the Netherlands and Belgium provide diverse opportunities for nature enthusiasts to explore various landscapes.

In the Netherlands, the North Brabant province offers nearly 80 ‘Trage Tochten’ (Slow Walks). These routes traverse geological and natural areas such as Kampina, Groote Peel, the Kempen, and the Brabantse Wal, often following historical waterways like the Mark, Dommel, Beerze, Aa, and Keersop rivers.

In Belgium, long-distance multi-day routes highlight geographic diversity. These include the 160-kilometer Transardennaise through the Ardennes, the 209-kilometer GR16 along the Semois river, and the 382-kilometer GR57 following the Ourthe river toward Luxembourg. Additionally, the Skyhills region in the Netherlands and Belgium offers rolling hills and forests for various trekking levels.
