Moderate Hiking Trails in Belgium

We track 1,078 routes that match this search in Belgium. They average 9.4 km and 206 m (676 ft) of ascent.

That is 44 percent of the 2,447 routes we map in Belgium.

Moderate routes are the sweet spot for most regular walkers: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to turn into an ordeal. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
