Description by the author

NL - De GR 128 start in het dorpje Wissant, halfweg tussen Cap Griz-Nez en Cap Blanc-Nez, en loopt zo’n 170 km door Frankrijk. Hij doorkruist dan heel Vlaanderen en eindigt in de Duitse stad Aken.
Het Belgische deel, de GR 128 Vlaanderenroute, doet zijn naam alle eer aan: dit GR-pad doorkruist gans Vlaanderen, van het West-Vlaamse Kemmel in het westen tot het Voerense Teuven in het uiterste oosten. Maar liefst 473 km wandelwegen leiden de wandelaar langs de verrassend rijke variatie aan natuurschoon en cultuurhistorisch erfgoed die Vlaanderen te bieden heeft.

EN - The GR 128 starts in the French village of Wissant, halfway between Cap Griz-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez, and runs through France for about 170 km. It then crosses all of Flanders before ending in the German city of Aachen.

The GR 128 is called the Flanders Route for a reason. This trail traverses all of Flanders: from Kemmel in West Flanders, through the provinces of East Flanders and Flemish Brabant to Limburg. There, the GR 128 crosses the Dutch border and runs past Maastricht, before returning to Teuven in the far east of Flanders. The trail’s 473 km offer a great introduction to Flanders’ surprisingly rich and varied natural beauty, as well as to the region’s cultural and historical heritage.
