NS Wandelingen
The Dutch Railways (NS) have made a number of handy walks between train stations. When I'm not walking or cycling, I'm on the train. This extends my reach considerably, and if I spend the night somewhere, I can see the entire country. Walks shown here are ones that I have done, but there are many more that you can find on the NS Wandeling website.
If you intend to undertake a few walks, I recommend an NS Flex OV chip card. I have the 'Dal' subscription. For €5 per month I get a 40% discount on journeys between 09:00-16:00, 18:30-06:30, and the entire weekend. Perfect.
You can also check in without loading your card. This can be useful if the train is nearby. You can see what your travel costs are on the NS website or app.
