Kingdom of the Netherlands

The Netherlands is not a mountain country, but it excels in long-distance walking, cycling, dune landscapes, coastal trails, and lowland nature routes. It suits travelers who enjoy easy logistics, flat or rolling terrain, and active travel that is more about distance and rhythm than altitude.
