How do I follow Flanders’ Finest Hiking Routes?

Many of Flanders' Finest Hiking Routes are clearly signposted along the side of the road. Spotted a signpost at the start of your route? Then follow it for the rest of the hike. It couldn't be easier!  

Hiking nodes?

A large part of Flanders' Finest Hiking Routes is based on the existing hiking node network. Flanders' finest hiking routes are all connected with each other. When two or more of these roads intersect, it is called a node. You can recognise them by a sign at the side of the road with a number on it. You stay on the correct route by following the right numbers. You can find the exact set of node numbers on the page of each Flanders' Finest Hiking Route.
