Hallo Pieter,
The problem with importing the data is the license. I believe we do not
have their permission to copy the data into OSM.
As far as being not up-to-date: the hiking paths are far from complete, but
the data is rather recent (less than 2 years old). The data on
http://www.wandelknooppunt.be/ might be more complete, but isn't always
correct neither. I have no idea what their source is. I have asked them to
collaborate, but got no response.
The cycling network data might be older, but is still being updated.
It woud be nice to have an application like wandelknooppunt based on OSM
data.
regards
