The Hertogenpad (the dukes path) is a special combination of greenery and conviviality. The 238 kilometer long path leads you past welcoming Brabant villages, dust, sand and peat swamps, over purple heathlands and sometimes swampy bat paths. The walking route from Breda to Roermond is a special series of beautiful nature reserves such as the Loonse and Drunense dunes, the Maashorst and the Groote Peel. It is one of the LAW paths in the Netherlands (long distance hiking) and is also called LAW 13 (picture).

Gans Creek Wild Area Trail is loop trail with a "lollipop stick" extension. The trail is moderate and consists of small stream crossings and hills that flow into Gans Creek, which is surrounded by high bluffs. The trail offers a nice mix of hardwood forests, cedar thickets, creek bottoms, and limestone bluffs. It contains areas with steep grades and inclines more than 10%.

Mitre Peak is an iconic peak nearby Milford Sound.

To access the peak you must kayak 2km from Milford Sound to the base of the peak. There is no real track at first up through very steep bush but a faint track forms on the ridge which gives way to some fun class 4 rock scrambling on the summit crest. 

Incredible views all around from the summit of the sounds and Fiordland Mountains.

Back down the same way. Watch for swell in the afternoon return.
