According to deputy Jurgen Vanlerberghe, the network offers new opportunities for recreation: “By investing in connection over provincial borders, we make this green region accessible to a wide audience.”

The signage will be further finished in the coming weeks on the East Flemish side. Walkers can now plan their journey via www.visitwestvlaanderen.be or www.routen.be. A paper hiking map is for sale online. Extra hiking networks will follow later this year, including around Kortrijk.
