Nathalie Penders’ Hiking Page  
Most of the hikes in the Netherlands are day tours along long-distance-foothpaths (LAW - Lange Afstand Wandelpad).

Vierstromenpad
The name "Het Vierstromenpad" can be translated as "four streams path" or "four river path". It is called this way because during the cause of this trail you will be crossing four of the Netherlands's major rivers. It is a Long Distance Walk from Den Bosch (in the southern part of the Netherlands) to Ede (in the center of the country).

Wadlopen
The prerequisite for wadlopen is a shallow sea, that dries sufficiently at every low tide to allow crossing it by foot during a few short hours before and after low tide. Also the difference in height between high and low tide must be sufficiently great. Such conditions prevail in the Waddensea, stretching from Den Helder in the Netherlands to Esbjerg in Denmark (and even further), though there are probably many more regions on earth with similar conditions. (E.g. in Cape Cod Bay) The terrain between the mainland and the string of islands before the coast consists mainly of sands, though sometimes, especially in places where there is not a lot of current, the Waddensea can be quite muddy.

Low tide crossing - from Holwerd to Ameland
Maps show the channels, sandbank and buoys. With a GPS, one can pre-plan a route. Crossing sands by low tide is dangerous, nevertheless, and one should be well acquinted with the sands and the tides. A wet suit or wading outfit is necessary in this season. The walk to Ameland is 9 km long.
