Equipment: Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve sure-footedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and low weight.
Adapt your equipment to your hike and make sure your rucksack is light. Nevertheless, rain, cold and sun protection should always be in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency number 112). A map or GPS will help you find your way.

Falls as a result of slipping or stumbling are the most common cause of accidents! Be aware that too fast a pace or tiredness can severely impair your surefootedness and concentration.
