The Long Distance Walks are probably nothing new to avid hikers: multi-day hikes on mostly unpaved paths. Limburg has 4 long-distance walking routes.

Walking in Haspengouw

Haspengouw GR route

Whether you go to Haspengouw in the spring when the blossoms are in full bloom, or later in the year when the fruit infuses the region with flavour, the fruity region is worth visiting every season. The long-distance GR trail is a 130 km loop with another 52 km of shortcuts so you can also cover a shorter distance.

De Wijers long-distance walk
