Tips for hiking

We would like to give tips to all hiking pioneers so that you enjoy your holidays from start to finish:
Wear good shoes, if possible with elastic and antishock soles was well as with padding at pressure-sensitive points.
Very good are trekking or hiking shoes. They offer ideal grip and high comfort. Blisters occur because of attrition, rubbing and heating of the skin.
So mind that your shoes fit perfectly and that your socks don't slide. Put patches on sensible parts.

Breathable functional clothing is light (and easy to clean), wind- and rainproof and transport sweat quickly outwards.
Consult with an outdoor specialised shop to finds the best equipment for you. Pack food that is rich of vitamins and dietary fibres like fruits, whole-grain bread or power bars and 2-3 litres tea, water or isotonic drinks in your backpack. Your need for water increases with the strain! Keep your headdress, sun lotion, waterproof clothing and if neccessary a warm pullover in mind. Many useful thing like maps with rainproof protective cover, telescope sticks, thermo bottles, binoculars, backpacks, simple rain capes, hats or pins are available in our small hiking shop. Some even for borrowing.
