Description by the author

NL - De GR 5 is hét icoon in het net van wit-rood bewegwijzerde GR-paden dat zich over Nederland, België, Luxemburg, Frankrijk tot in Spanje en Portugal uitstrekt. De GR 5 maakt de verbinding van de Noordzee tot de Middellandse Zee en is meer dan 2.000 km lang.  

In Vlaanderen is de GR 5 lopen niet moeilijk. Meestal wandel je langs vlakke paden en veldwegen, maar je krijgt wel heel wat afwisseling: bos en heide in de Antwerpse Kempen; de grote abdijen van Westmalle, Tongerlo, Averbode en Herkenrode; waterpartijen in de Demerbroeken en de Wijers en bossen in de Limburgse Hoge Kempen. Eindigen doe je in de Maasvallei even voorbij Maastricht. Bij het historische fort van Eben-Emael sta je aan de voet van de Ardennen. Klik hier voor de topogids.

EN - The GR 5 serves as an icon for the GR network, which covers the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Spain and Portugal. The trail connects the North Sea to the Mediterranean Sea and is over 2,000 km long.

Hiking the GR 5 through Flanders is not technically difficult: flat paths and country roads make up most of the trail. The GR 5 does provide a lot of variety in scenery, however: forests and heathland in the Kempen (Antwerp), the great abbeys of Westmalle, Tongerlo, Averbode and Herkenrode, ponds and marshes in the Demerbroeken and the Wijers, and forests in the Hoge Kempen (Limburg). The Flemish section ends in the Maas valley, just past Maastricht, where you find yourself at the foot of the Ardennes by the historic fortress of Eben-Emael.
