Smart backpack packing makes hiking life easier: Always question the equipment - what do I really need?
Pay attention to a balanced load distribution. Carry heavy items as close to your body as possible. Put things that are needed often - such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map - in the top lid compartment.
Take enough liquids with you and stow them in a side pocket for easy access. Don't forget a snack or muesli bar for energy.
Don't forget cash!
An emergency kit belongs in every rucksack! First aid kit, mobile phone with fully charged battery, hiking map or GPS device for orientation, small pocket knife. Protection against heat and cold - it is always advisable to dress according to the "onion system"!
Cap, sun cream & sunglasses, thin hat & gloves, change of clothes, rain jacket
A good hiking boot is a perfect companion and should never be missing!
Don't forget blister plasters just in case!
If necessary, hiking poles are recommended!
