Route: Belgian Coastal Path ("Streek GR Kust")

The Belgian Coastal Path (English: https://www.groteroutepaden.be/en/streek-gr-kust-4, Dutch: https://www.groteroutepaden.be/nl/streek-gr-kust-3) is a recent addition (summer 2023) to the network of “Great Routes” in Belgium. The Belgian coast has more to offer besides sea and beaches. Between the train station of De Panne and the nature park Het Zwin, this Coastal Path traverses the most beautiful paths through dunes, dune forests, nature reserves, parks, the most famous seaside resorts, special works of art and, of course, also along beaches and sea. Currently the trail has no guidebook yet but the waymarking is up to date and the gpx is available on the websites mentioned above.

The route includes the most northern point of France, which doubles as the most western point of Belgium.

This GR is a make-over and extension of the former “GR 5A Kustroute”, https://fastestknowntime.com/route/gr-5a-kustroute-belgium
