European long-distance hiking trails
The European long-distance hiking trails have been initiated by the European Hiking Association . One of the aims when it was founded in 1969 was to create a network of long-distance hiking trails through Europe that would bring people together. Over the years, twelve large long-distance hiking trails have been established on this basis .
The total length is approximately 60,000 km. Some of these are not or only very inadequately marked, or are still not really available to this day. In Central Europe , the paths and markings are mostly in a good to very good condition.
history
The first six European long-distance hiking trails E1 to E6 were largely defined by around 1979 and also marked with corresponding hiking trail boards. By 1999 there were eleven European long-distance hiking trails with the E7 to E11, covering a total of 52,000 kilometers. Since then, another one has been added with the E12.
