E9 European Coastal Path

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The E9 European Coastal Path, or Sentier Européen du Littoral, is a very long distance coastal footpath, which runs for 5000 km (3125 miles) from Cabo de São Vicente in Portugal to Narva-Jõesuu in Estonia.

The path follows the west coasts of Portugal, Spain and France as far as Roscoff. From Roscoff the path splits to offer two alternative routings:

• By ferry to Plymouth in England, and then following the English south coast as far as Dover, where another ferry crossing returns the route to Calais in France.

• The north coast of France from Roscoff to Calais

The path then follows the coast of Belgium, the Netherlands and into Germany. The path crosses the base of the Jutland peninsula, before following the coast of the Baltic Sea through Poland, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.

The path is still under development, and not all sections are yet available.<ref name="ramass">Ramblers Association. European Path E9. Retrieved March 19, 2006.</ref>
