With the Walking Node app you can explore all walking nodes networks in Flanders, East Belgium, Pays des Collines and the border area with the Netherlands. Together good for more than 12,000 kilometers of hiking pleasure. To find out if there are hiking nodes in your area, it's best to surf to Wandelnieuwe.be/routeplanner.
HANDY WALKING ROUTE PLANNER
You can view all hiking nodes on a map and map out a tailor-made hiking tour node per node. It can also be faster: via the handy Surprise Me function you can choose a specific walking node and let the app calculate a route with a distance of your choice. In addition, you can save all drawn walking routes so that you can reuse them later.
IMPORT HIKING ROUTES
You can also map out walking tours from behind your PC via our handy online route planner on Wandelnieuwe.be. There you can generate a QR code for each route. You can scan this code using the app, after which the route is sent to your smartphone.
Suggestion routes
You will also find more than 500 suggested routes in the app. These are routes that we compile ourselves or routes that are offered by our partners Tourism Flemish Brabant, Tourism Province Antwerp and Tourism East Flanders.
