Description by the author

On the occasion of the Dutch Mountain Film Festival and entirely in the tradition of the Jubiläumswege in the Alps, the Dutch Mountain Trail has been set out. Although it is not the longest, it has become the toughest hike in the Netherlands, which may even compete with a serious trip in the real mountains.

It is a rugged 101 km long hike that connects Seven Summits. It runs from Eygelshoven station (Kerkrade) to Maastricht station on a route where the real mountain feeling is never far away. Fast-flowing streams, (alpine) meadows, rock walls and of course spectacular views: they will challenge and delight you during this trail.

Please note that this route is not signposted. A special booklet is available for this through the VVV branches in South Limburg.

If you have any comments about the route, you can report them via routepunt@visitzuidlimburg.nl.

A complete hiking map with many dozens of other hiking trails in this region is easy to order via www.visitzuidlimburg.nl/webshop.

Note! In the winter months (from the end of October) the foot ferry at Eijsden is out of service and the last stage can only be walked with a detour via Belgium. Always consult the website for the current opening hours!
