Preparation for the activity Behaviour rules
No matter whether you set off alone, with a partner or in a group, a hike in nature always involves minor and major risks that can be kept to a minimum with the help of the best possible preparation.
-
Once you set off, always remain reachable!
Take along a mobile phone or smartphone and a portable charger and inform at least one friend who can serve as an emergency contact or a hut that is located along the route. Let them know which area you will be using and what your destination is. -
Stay together!
If you are with a group, you should take advantage of this benefit and always keep your co-hikers in view. By doing so, everyone can keep watch on everyone. -
Regularly drink water!
You can easily become dehydrated on hot days. Start off with enough water and keep your thirst in check. -
Take breaks!
Just like taking regular drinks of water, you should also take regular breaks and eat something.
