The course of the European Green Belt across Europe

The European Green Belt - with 12,500 km the longest green network in Europe - is an area of natural and cultural habitat that spans the entire European continent. The European Green Belt connects 24 European countries from the northern tip of Europe through Central Europe to the Black, Ionian and Adriatic Seas. As it snakes from north to south, the European Green Belt passes through a wide variety of landscapes - from alpine peaks, Arctic tundra, boreal forests, moors, bogs and lush floodplains to coastal areas and grasslands. It is the backbone of Europe's green infrastructure, protecting impressive and fragile landscapes that are part of Europe's outstanding biodiversity. By doing so, it also connects countries and people from different regions of Europe, promotes cross-border cooperation and is a symbol of European peace.
