Each walking wants to be well prepared
Who plans a longer walking or wants to enjoy next walking vacation, should prepare the route thoroughly .
An accurate route planning is essential with long walkings, otherwise the pleasure becomes fast the strain. Route distance and condition of the area (strong upward gradients) must the walker before the start admit to be. Moving leaders or maps, that are available for nearly each angle of this earth in the book trade, give information on it. Many tourist boards in Germany have excellent map material meanwhile likewise - however one must ask often purposefully for it. Particularly to beginners applies: do not make too much. Daily stages between twelve and 18 kilometers (pure going time around four hours) are enough. Untrained ones begin with shorter distances and increase the distance slowly. Tracing and overnight accomodation to take into account already before, are advisable, particularly if children are also from the portion.
For the moving pleasure a suitable, the area adapted clothes is essential. To the footwear applies: Durable Jogging or leisure shoes is suitable if necessary for short distances on even paths; for longer ways one needs sturdy moving shoes with griffiger, skid-proof sole. Importantly: New shoes already at home run in, so that they do not press after the first kilometers. The clothes must be comfortable and strainable, hold reliably wind and cold weather and deliver body warmth and sweat at the same time outward, so that the skin drying remains. Trousers should not be far cut, sit particularly in the federation and step too closely. Must permit freedom of movement also shirts, blouses and TShirts. In addition belong with longer migrations a Wollpullover or a Sweatshirt, a rain as well as a sun protection (cap, hat) and a Sonnencrerne into the backpack.
On the way a cosy picknick under blue sky is usually more beautiful than the lunch in the pub: Thus bread time do not forget, also something for small hunger occasionally. Against the thirst helps dte with lemon for example; sweet, char-acid and particularly alcoholic beverages remain against it better at home.
Which you should always have when walkng
All the same whether short migration or daily route - does not underestimate you the distance, particularly if you are with children
on the way. A backpack belongs to. And you should pack up that.
Drinks: Carry sufficiently liquid forward, and you drink smaller quantities in
regular intervals. Even in flatter areas one comes easily into sweating. Particularly for wanderer there are light aluminum
bottles, which fill up you, best with water or Fruchtsaftschorlen (Fruitjuice
with water) at home - they are the best if You are dursty.
Eating: Who it is used to eat several hours - for instance between the main
meals - nothing nevertheless a little thing should carry itself forward. One uses when moving depending upon body weight about 200 to
300 kilocalories per hour. That makes appetite. Well are suitable for example fruit, grape sugar, dried fruits or occupied bread
Walking Map: Only because of security by the view of the map you do not get also an
impression, where you straight are and are surrounded by which mountain summits you. Thus you become acquainted with the area
better.
Hats: Frequently one does not notice on the way at all, the sun still in the
autumn months is as strong - with hat, cap or cloth you protect yourselves against a sun pass.
Raining Caps: For walkers are suitable for example far ponchos, which can to be
carried also over the backpack and so sufficiently protection from wetness offer.
Clothes to change: Who exerts, comes faster into sweating. The skin can cool down
unpleasantly fast. Therefore always pack up a replacement t Shirt.
Sun prtotection: Whether as lotion, gel or milk - which sun protection should depending
upon hauttyp, it possesses a sufficiently high protection factor (approx. LSF 10, with not
brown skin at least LSF 15).
Important: If you plan a longer route, also a first aid set from the pharmacy
belongs also into the backpack, so that you can supply smaller wounds and blisters themselves.
Tipps for buying shoes
The feet expand in the course of the daily. Therefore always buy shoes in the late afternoon or early evening. Pay attention to passport
form, security and comfort. Interior seams, particularly at the heel, can lead to painful blisters. The shoes should not be to difficult, a
skid-proof sole and a sturdy heel cap have (see below). Test the moving shoes on an inclined level. If you knock against with the
mountain going off with the toes, the shoe is too small. If you go uphill, the heel must in the shoe be well and may not not
rub. Take their moving socks and if available also the orthopedic inserts also.
New moving shoes should run in you correctly. Make only several small walks, until you feel that the new correct fit. Often it is because of
the socks, if you run yourselves blisters. If those are uneven, fast wet will or easily to slip, they scrub at the skin. In the specialized
trade you get special outdoor socks. The artificial fiber portions transport the humidity away from the
foot.
First assistance with blisters
If you ran yourselves wund, a blister plaster from the pharmacy helps: It protects the pain against pressure, lindert and accelerates the
healing. Plasters can also stick you preventing on sensitive skin. Practical is also a
wound bandage - go for example barefoot through a brook, keep away this water resistant federation
bacteria from the ignited skin. Against smaller wounds protect foot ointments from the pharmacy, which form a natural protective film
on the skin. The contained ethereal oils such as Eukalyptus, Rosmarin, lavendel, thymian or menthol disinfect and promote the blood
circulation of the skin.
The ideal moving shoe: On which you should respect
| 1. Ventilationsoeffnung at tongue and shank derives steam. 2. Thread rejects water. 3. High edge of rubber protects against sharp edged stones. 4. Intermediate sole made of PU (PU) is long-lived and absorbs impacts. 5. Special rubber mixture lets sole cling also on slippery soil well. 6. Fire sole made of plastic gives the necessary rigidity to the shoe. 7. Inserting soles are herausnehmbar (for orthopaed. Inserts). 8. Extra-soft interior fodder from leather or Goretex with openings for ventilation. 9. Soft, air-permeable pad foam protects against pressure points. 10. Upper leather is rejecting and very durable water. |

Telescope sticks relieve and give safe stop
| For the joints the mountain descending is a much larger load than the ascent. The reason: The weight on the knee joints is substantially higher with the descent. The movements are less supple, the equilibrium can be kept worse - in such a way one risks fast an injury. In addition it comes that the concentration diminishes after a arduous ascent. Therefore the acquisition of telescope sticks could be worthwhile itself: If one keeps it correct, i.e. before the body, they relieve the joints and give to wanderern on uneven soil more slip resistance. Studies proved that. The correct use of the sticks is completely important: If you always put these on in foot proximity, select the correct height (ascent: briefly, descent: long), and you use always two sticks. Thus you train at the same time your poor and shoulder mash no. For distances, on which the sticks are hinderlich, the sticks can be pushed also into one another and stowed away in the backpack. |  |
