Description
The name Fietserspad may remind you a bit of the Pieterpad and that is exactly the intention. The Fietserspad is roughly the same as the Pieterpad , but on roads on which you can cycle instead of just walking. This way you can enjoy the Pieterpad, the most famous long-distance walk in the Netherlands, but by bike. This part of the Fietserspad takes you along stages 7, 8 and 9 of the Pieterpad.
