Walking Trails of the World
Walking Trails of the World aims to provide you with walking guides on long distance walking Trails, gear for the bigger walkers and information on walking in general. 

These Books are made for walking
There are many long distance walking Trails. Even in a small country like the Netherlands there are about 6000 kilometers of marked Trails. When you look for information about these Trails, the information usually comes in the local language. To make the Trails available to a wider public, Walking Trails of the World has made it its goal to provide you with information on walking Trails in English. First on Trails in Europe and in the future, on Trails in other countries in the world.

This information comes in the form of walking guides. Each guide describes a long distance walking Trail. The Trails are marked, have a length of about 200 kilometers and take roughly 2 weeks to walk. The Trails are pleasant to walk but can be challenging. The Trails will give you a good impression of the culture and nature of the country you are walking through. 

The guides are developed with your needs as a walker in mind. You find information on how to get to the Trail, the condition of the Trail, maps, a description on which way to go, information on accommodation and other facilities and public transport on and near the Trail. The aim is to provide you with all the information needed to make your walk as care free as possible; These books are made for Walking!

The guides come in a practical size, are easy to use and are printed on water resistant paper. Only a few examples are printed at a time on a colour laser printer. This has the advantage that it is possible to update information at short notice.

XXL and beyond
Walking Trails of the World provides the bigger walker with proper gear. Most companies provide shoes up to size 47 or clothing up to size XXL, bigger sizes are often hard to obtain. Walking Trails has searched for companies that make the larger sizes. At first there will be a somewhat limited assortment, but this will be extended in the future.
