Multi-Day Hiking Trip Packing List

This packing list is aimed towards multi-day hiking trips when walking from one camping to another.

Pieterpad from Venlo to Sittard

Last year (June 2025) I did my first multi-day hike in The Netherlands and walked 4 days on the “Pieterpad”

I took the bus to Venlo trainstation and started walking south. Then I walked from camping to camping, I booked the next camping during the day.
