European walking route

The European long-distance paths are a network of long-distance footpaths that traverse Europe. While most long-distance footpaths in Europe are located in just one country or region, each of these numbered European long-distance paths passes through many different countries.

The first long-distance hiking trail in Europe was the National Blue Trail of Hungary, established in 1938. The formation of the European Union made transnational hiking trails possible.

The European long-distance paths were designated by the European Ramblers' Association. In general the routes make use of existing national and local trails such as the GR footpaths.

Today the network consists of 12 E-paths and covers more than 55,000 km, crisscrossing Europe. The newest E-path is E12, following the northern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
