Explore the Netherlands on Foot
Looking for a walking holiday that brings you deep into Dutch nature, past castles, coastlines, and charming villages? A hiking tour reveals a quieter, richer side of the Netherlands. Each trail is thoughtfully chosen and fully supported, with time to enjoy art, food, and local stories along the way.
What to Expect
Each hike covers around 12 to 16 kilometers and is tailored to your pace and preferences. Walk through forests, across moors, along dikes, and even over the sea floor. And yes, there’s always a comfortable bed and a hearty meal waiting at the end of the day.
Sample Day Trips
- Windmills, Castles & the Green Heart
Start in the “Green Heart” of Holland with a 16.5 km hike through villages, meadows, forests, and past windmills. In the afternoon, visit De Haar Castle — the largest and most majestic castle in the country — then continue to the Veluwe forest for dinner and rest. - Wildlife & Van Gogh
A 12 km hike through National Park Hoge Veluwe takes you into deep woods and open heathlands, home to deer and wild boar. In the afternoon, visit the Kröller-Müller Museum, home to an exceptional Van Gogh collection. - Ice Age Trails & Water Villages
Head north to the Sallandse Heuvelrug for a 13 km hike over hills formed during the Ice Age. Then unwind in Giethoorn, a postcard-perfect village of canals, bridges, and thatched-roof cottages — best explored by quiet boat. - The Sea Floor Beneath Your Feet
Today’s hike is short but unforgettable: a guided walk across the mudflats of the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the evening, enjoy a stroll and dinner in the historic harbor town of Harlingen. - Dikes, Ditches & Dutch Water Works
Cross the iconic Afsluitdijk into North Holland. This 14 km walk follows reclaimed land, canal paths, and fishing villages in a low-lying landscape shaped by water.
