European long-distance paths

European long-distance paths

The European long-distance paths are a network of extremely 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 European long-distance paths were designated by the European Ramblers' Association. [ [http://www.ramblers.org.uk/INFO/paths/index.html#E-paths European Long Distance Paths (E-paths)] on the Ramblers' Association website] In general the routes make use of existing national and local trails such as the GR footpaths.
