In the southernmost part of the Netherlands, we are working on the realisation of a walking junction network. In early 2023, we started collecting existing walking routes in the southern part of the province of Limburg. The area had walking routes with coloured posts in many municipalities. This system is now being replaced by the walking junction system.
The collected routes are the foundation for the new network. By linking these routes together and also linking key hotspots, public transport locations and places of interest, a network structure was created. The networks were then further developed into a final design in close cooperation with the municipalities and stakeholders such as terrain and nature managers.
After approval on the design, our staff inventoried the entire network in the field. All sign locations were recorded in the online route management system C-tip. In the system, we gave all municipalities access to the data in order to easily view and review the assigned locations.
At the moment, we are looking forward to the construction of the walking junction network in the southern part of Limburg. In the coming months, we will realise the more than 1800-kilometre-long network in the beautiful landscape.
We are carrying out this assignment on behalf of Visit Zuid-Limburg and the sixteen participating municipalities.
