Beaches, dunes, and pine forests, nature reserves, and noteworthy cities - the Netherlands has surprisingly much to offer for hikers. Along the coastal areas, excellent hiking trails invite varied tours, sometimes right by the coast, sometimes further inland. This book describes 25 hikes along the North Sea coast of North and South Holland, as well as Friesland and Groningen, around the IJsselmeer, and on Texel. Each tour includes tips for hikers with children and dogs, as well as information on getting there, dining options, trail markings, and much more. Maps and elevation profiles complement the detailed route descriptions, and GPS tracks can be downloaded for free from the internet.
