in DUTCH:
In het gebied zijn talrijke wandelroutes uitgezet, deels geasfalteerd en deels over de voor het hoogveenmilieu kenmerkende houten vlonderpaden. De Hoge Venen zijn hiervoor ingedeeld in zones:
• Zone A: voor wandelaars vrij toegankelijk
• Zone B: wandelen alleen toegestaan over de gemarkeerde wegen en paden
• Zone C: alleen toegankelijk met een gids
• Zone D: volledig ontoegankelijk.
De zones zijn ingesteld naargelang de aanwezigheid van zeldzame dieren en planten.

In de winter zijn de Hoge Venen bedekt met sneeuw en worden diverse langlaufloipes uitgezet. In het voorjaar en de zomer bestaat ondanks de vele neerslag vaak brandgevaar in de Hoge Venen.

In ENGLISH:
Numerous walking routes have been set out in the area, partly asphalted and partly on the wooden decking paths characteristic of the high moor environment. The High Fens are divided into zones for this:
• Zone A: freely accessible to walkers
• Zone B: walking is only allowed on marked roads and paths
• Zone C: only accessible with a guide
• Zone D: completely inaccessible.
The zones are set according to the presence of rare animals and plants.

In winter, the High Fens are covered with snow and various cross-country trails are set out. In spring and summer there is often a fire risk in the High Fens, despite the heavy rainfall.
Approximate boardwalk length (feet): 15000
