In addition to the right clothing, you should also make sure you have the right footwear for your next winter walk. The following points are particularly important here:
At home on the sofa with your favourite blanket and a punch or baking biscuits - many people prefer to stay warm during the cold season. But even in the winter months, being outside has a very special charm and there is plenty to experience. If you don't want to miss out on a walk in winter, there are just a few little things to bear in mind. We have put together a few useful tips.
TRACKS IN THE SNOW
RELAX AND ENJOY
Another point you should bear in mind during a winter walk is to adapt your breaks to the cool temperature. As the body cools down quickly due to the cold, it is advisable to plan several short breaks instead of one long break. This will keep your body at "operating temperature" as much as possible. Of course, you should also allow yourself to rest from time to time during your walk. The cold air and snow-covered paths or roads often make walking more difficult. It is therefore all the more important to listen to your body and not overload it.
Tip:
When you go for a walk, remember to take a cushion or other object with you that you can sit on. This way, you can take a break almost anywhere, regardless of snow-covered or icy benches.
SHORT DAYS, LONG NIGHTS
ALIGN YOUR WALK WITH THE SUNSHINE HOURS OF THE DAY
In winter, the light conditions change as well as the temperatures. When planning your walk, you should bear in mind that there is less daylight available to you in winter. This means that it gets light later and dark earlier. To avoid being surprised by this, you should plan your tour carefully and as precisely as possible. It is also advisable to always have a torch or headlamp with you at later hours, for example to make yourself recognisable to drivers. Light-coloured clothing also helps you to be seen in the dark.
Extra tip: The sky is often very clear in winter and you can recognise some constellations.
THE RIGHT CLOTHES
A "SHIFT SYSTEM" OF A DIFFERENT KIND
An important aspect of your next winter walk is choosing the right clothing. A common mistake here is to dress too thickly. Once you start moving, you quickly start to sweat. The clothes then often get wet and dry very slowly due to the winter temperatures. For this reason, it is advisable to dress according to the so-called "onion principle". This involves wearing several different layers, which can be taken off again as the temperature rises.
