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 so that they are within easy reach. Remember to bring a small snack or muesli bar as a source of energy. Don't forget cash!

An emergency kit belongs in every backpack!First aid kit, cell phone with fully charged battery, hiking map or GPS device for orientation, small pocket knife.
Protection against heat and cold - a clothing according to the "onion system" is always recommended! Cap, sunscreen & sunglasses, thin cap, 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!
