Fietserspad (Pieterpad) (LF) | The Netherlands from North to South

The Pieterpad is a long distance walking path from the north to the south of the Netherlands (or in reverse). Walking this path means walking on the smallest of roads and paths. All the way from Pieterburen in North-Groningen to the Sint-Pietersberg in South Limburg, the most southern part of the Netherlands. But you can also cycle this path in both directions.A path with some unpaved roads but possible to ride with a road bike (although we advice at least 28mm tires). For people who really like gravel, we made a gravel version of this path. Gravel from the North to the South of the Netherlands: komoot.com/collection/1603215/-pieterpad-gravel, passing all kinds of landscapes along the way. From the clay soil of Groningen and the sandy soil of Drenthe to the hills of Limburg. The path is divided into three stages, but you are free to determine your own daily distance.The Pieterpad was created in the early 80s by Toos Goorhuis-Tjalsma and Bertje Jens. These two friends thought that the Netherlands could use a serious long-distance walking path. So they decided to walk and describe the Pieterpad between 1978 and 1983. This path soon became the walking classic on Dutch soil. Ad Snelderwaard decided to create a cycling version along the path.
