A well-packed daypack is very important for a hiking tour. However, the most important things are those that you don’t even take with you, because even trained persons can only carry about 20-25% of their body weight over a longer period of time.

TIP!

Your daypack should never weigh more than 12 kg.

You should pack the following in your daypack:

• Functional jacket and rain trousers
• Perhaps a pair of shorts
• You should pack the following in your daypack
• Fleece/insulating jacket

• First-aid kit
• Pocket knife
• ID, tickets for transfers if required
• Mobile phone (check the charge on the previous evening)
• Drinking bottle
• Tour book, documents for the day
• Hotel list (in case there are several accommodations at the stopover location)
