Hiking Do's & Dont's


Hiking in Germany
 

Do:

Have an eye for the details
No matter where you’re about to hike, there will most likely be many breathtaking spots along your way, and you better make sure not to miss them! J

Sing a song
Singing while hiking is awesome! No matter if 80’s, 90’s, the latest One Direction hit or an old old old hymn: singing while walking makes it just more fun.

Leave the path
Of course only if you’re sure you’ll find back J
Leave the regular streets, paths or trails, jump down a small hill, across creeks, or even walk through a river!
Excitement comes whenever you leave the known and run into the unknown!

Bring snacks & lunch
Who never experienced it might not know, but food is never as delicious as when it’s eaten while hiking! So make sure to bring enough granola bars & a good lunch J 
I recommend some apples, too..


Don’t:

Rush
Don’t run (unless you’re outside for jogging)!
Please take time to make walking comfortable & watch whatever you want to watch!

Forget to make some breaks
You might come along some sweet benches in the middle of nowhere, a forest, a pond, a river or a lake, no matter what or where - if you have time and don’t need to be at a certain place at a certain time, just sit down, relax and have a nice break!

Underestimate the backpack
No matter if you’re just hiking for one or for more days: don’t underestimate the day- / backpack! No matter if it’s too big, too small or too heavy: leave it at home!
It might don’t bother you for the first couple minutes, but it will soon!

Underestimate the shoes
Just as the backpack the shoes might seem to be ok for a short walk, but if you’re about to hike for a longer time you should make sure that they fit, are the right size and above all that they’re not new, never before worn shoes!
Blisters at the feet are not the nicest companion, especially not if you have to continue the hike!
