GR 5 Part 1 - The Netherlands

10-07-2025 | 21:23

Hey guys 🤗

I had a wonderful time in the Netherlands and finished the first part of the GR5 long distance trail !! 

Some fun facts for you about the Netherlands: 

  • The Netherlands is the country with the most windmills in the world
  • It is known for its excellent water management. A fifth of the country is below sea level, but the use of dikes, dams and pumping stations keeps the land dry - and on the GR5 you walk on a lot of dikes!
  • There are around 17 million bicycles in The Netherlands, which means more bicycles than inhabitants!


I am in Belgium now and love to share my first impressions of the GR5 Part 1 with you🥳😎!
