Equipment
Good hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve surefootedness! When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip tread sole, waterproofness and low weight, hiking poles are also very useful on the steeper and stony passages.

Adapt your equipment to your hike and make sure your backpack is light. 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 can help you find your way.

Since there are no refreshment stops on the tour, take enough to drink and food with you.

Safety instructions
Avoid time pressure and choose the pace so that no one in the group gets out of breath.

Falls, as a result of slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too fast a pace or fatigue will severely affect your surefootedness and concentration.
