While most [[List of long-distance footpaths|long-distance footpaths]] on the continent are located in just one country or region, each of these numbered long-distance trails passes through many countries. The first long-distance hiking trail in Europe was the [[National Blue Trail]] of Hungary, established in 1938. The formation of the [[European Union]] in 1993 made transnational hiking trails possible. Presently, the network consists of 12 paths and covers more than {{convert|65,000|km|mi}}, crisscrossing the continent. In general, the routes connect and make use of existing national and local trails, such as the [[GR footpath]]s. The trails are officially designated by the [[European Ramblers' Association]]. ==List== {| class="wikitable sortable" |+ {{Sronly|List of the 12 European long-distance paths so far defined}} |- ! # !!
