E8 European long distance path
The European walking route E8
The E8 European long distance path or E8 path is one of the European long-distance paths, leading 4,700 km (2,920 miles) across Europe, from Cork in Ireland to Istanbul in Turkey.
After Ireland it crosses the Irish Sea into the United Kingdom, where it follows part of the Trans Pennine Trail. After crossing the North Sea, it passes through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine and Romania. It finally crosses Bulgaria before reaching Turkey.
It was the first European long distance path to be designated, and opened, in the UK. The section was opened in 1996.
Some of the eastern sections of the route are yet to be finalised.
The route is aimed at walkers, horse riders and cyclists.
