Designated starting point for multiple routes into a nature area. There is a designed marking pole or stele, information boards, seats or benches, free parking space nearby. This one is in a small village: https://www.google.nl/maps/@52.4336993,6.834158,3a,75y,191.07h,84.64t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sby0P5NTeyqR3fyrgDNqCOA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=nl
Here is another one, with emphasis on Parking. On the left behind the parking is the actual access point to the trails. https://www.google.nl/maps/@51.6284198,5.0889629,3a,76.4y,32.53h,96.56t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sy3HdYWJ2zZ1rw1ozqJyrXw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=nl The operators are governmental bodies. They publish the lists on recreation websites. Each province has its own list. VVV of course lists/presents them as well. These points are designed for trail access.
