[pct-l] How to get on the trail?

[calliger@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Richard)]

My girfriend is Dutch/Norwegian and we plan to arrive in Netherlands for an
extended visit this June and then spend the rest of the summer in France
and Suisse.

Can you recomend hikes in the Netherlands Areas of wilderness to see.
Things especially to not miss?

Thank you,

Richard and Bonnie
