What should I bear in mind when choosing hiking equipment?

Modified on Mon, 8 Sep at 8:07 AM

Wear shoes suitable for the hike - preferably hiking boots - and take a rucksack and hiking poles with you. Wear appropriate clothing for the season and make sure you have sufficient sun protection (glasses, headgear, sun cream). Spare underwear can be an advantage. Also pack enough food and drink. A hiking map or our free overview map (available at the valley and mountain stations) is recommended. Remember a charged cell phone with the most important emergency numbers (limited network connection in parts of the Oeschinensee), an emergency first-aid kit and a pocket knife.
