If you have to choose two, then take stages 2 and 3. In stage 2, you pass through Noorbeek, one of the most beautiful villages in the Netherlands, and in stage 3, you can take a break at Boscaf\u00e9 &#8216;t Hijgend Hert in Vijlen, the only Dutch mountain hut at an altitude of 260 meters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wandelnet.nl\/wandelroute\/727\/Krijtlandpad-etappe-01\/overzicht\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View \/ download walking route here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-builder-row-inner fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:104% !important;max-width:104% !important;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column_inner fusion-builder-nested-column-11 fusion_builder_column_inner_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h3><strong>Pilgrim&#8217;s Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Distance:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 13.9 kilometers (stage 14 Cadier en Keer &#8211; Mesch) \/\/ 22.1 kilometers(stage 13 Maastricht &#8211; Schin op Geul)<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Duration:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a03 to 6 hours, depending on the stage <\/em><br \/>\n<em>Transport:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Stage 13: train back from Schin op Geul \/\/ Stage 14: bus 350 to Cadier en Keer, return train from Eijsden<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The St. James&#8217; Path was already mentioned, but there are several pilgrim routes across Europe and the Netherlands.

Stage 13 is usually walked from Schin op Geul towards Maastricht, but you can also reverse it, allowing you to relax and take the train home. Stage 14 is particularly beautiful, passing through the greenery of the Savelsbos.
