according to the Genootschaap http://www.compostelagenootschap.be/default.aspx?id=512 the Monastica in NL is indeed not yet marked. However, for most of the route (as far as Vessem) it uses the Pelgrimspad, which would only leave a dozen or so km. If you have the guide, I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem.Luka said:But I heard that the route from Den Bosch to the Dutch/Belgian border is not marked.
I am walking the first part of the Pelgrimspad (Amsterdam - Den Bosch) right now. On foot it will take 10 tot 12 days if you don't want to walk too much per day. By bike you probably have to use quite some alternative routes, because part of the path is on sand and grass.Anniesantiago said:I'm really interested in hearing more about this route.
It seems I spoke with someone last year about renting/buying a bicicyle to do the Pelgrimstad, then selling it and continuing to Santiago on foot. Has anyone done this?
How many days would it take to leisurely walk or bike the Pelgrimstad?
What are the options for renting a bike for this trip?
Are there any guidebooks in English one could suggest?

Just got back from my Diest - Dinant walk. It was certainly nice, but a bit boring. A lot along one single path (RAVeL 2) and along the river Meuse.

Luka said:@Paulus, I am planning to continue through te Morvan (heading for Le Puy en Velay) next year.
Luka said:Where are you 'stuck' now, Fatma?
Luka, reopening this ancient thread to find if you or anyone in Holland has updated or first-hand information. Is this available anywhere, now?Thanks for your replies! I now understand that there is a little guide for Den Bosch - Rocroi.
The most recent information (GPS-tracks, accomodation) can be found on the website of the Flemisch fraternity of St. James.
Thank you Margaret!If you are planning on walking the VM in Belgium is there any possibility of your crossing at Rocroi into France?
Here is more info for pondering. Also there is much planned for Paris this summer. Happy planning.Thank you Margaret!
That (we hope) will come to pass! It depends on whether our legs still work after all this time.
If we get that far So it's a decision for a bit later -- though frankly I am strongly leaning more towards Paris. Then, even later...How to choose between going via Chartres or Orleans - in terms of the route, is there any difference that makes one preferable over the other in your mind? Left to my own devices I would choose Chartres (obviously for the cathedral) but one person here whose opinion I value chose Orleans and was very happy with that. Gathering knowlegeable opinions....
