NAVE Nortrail aims to contribute towards
the economic and social regeneration of the
North Sea Coastal Region by conserving
and highlighting the area’s natural and
cultural heritage through the regeneration of
a network of links and pathways around key
coastal areas; thus facilitating opportunities
for sustainable economic development
along this network related to cultural and
environmental tourism, outdoor activities
and education.
Basic idea for the project:
1. Lines in the landscape
A network of trails in
coastal areas, most
often historical routes
2. Trails + Heritage sites
Archeological sites, old fishing
villages, lighthouses etc
3. Trails + Heritage sites
+ Business
Accommodation, food,
services, crafts,
events,etc
4. Trails + Heritage sites +
Business + Information
Knowledge platform
Comprehensive information on linkages
between cultural landscapes, social
history, traditions, etc.
The comprehensive understanding of culture and
landscapes in our coastal areas, is not complete
without a broader geographical perspective –
The North Sea and The North Sea Countries
