Pieterpad stage 08: Coevorden - Hardenberg

The Pieterpad was conceived, walked, and described between 1978 and 1983 by Toos Goorhuis-Tjalsma from Tilburg and Bertje Jens from Groningen. Two friends who believed that the Netherlands could use a serious long-distance trail. They were inspired by a hiking trip in the German Black Forest and wanted to create something similar in the Netherlands. At your own pace, you experience how enjoyable it is to walk through landscapes and regions that you may have only seen from the car or train before. The Pieterpad takes you over the smallest roads and paths, as much as possible unpaved. You determine the distance per day yourself, but away from all daily worries, you always have a delightful hiking experience.
