NOTE:

Fitness for walking for several hours over several days with luggage and a good level of footedness required! Walking pace will often be moderate and due to the audio impulses and breaks there will be several places to rest. On the first day there are a few metres of ascent to the Ischler Hütte and on the following days in the Totes Gebirge mountain range there are also ascents.

Required equipment:

During the tour, we are mostly in the alpine region between 1500 and 2000 metres above sea level. At these altitudes it is usually a little cooler, especially in the evening and morning. In summer, strong sunshine is to be expected, which requires sun protection. You should also make sure you have enough to drink during the day's stages, preferably water. As you will be walking for several hours each day and containers can usually only be refilled in huts, you should carry at least 1.5 litres of liquid, preferably 2 litres. Depending on your individual needs, you should also carry something to eat, as it can take several hours to reach the next hut. Please remember that all items must be carried during the day (weight)!

• Shoes and clothing must be adequate according to the weather. We will hike at almost any weather (except thunderstorms or heavy rainfall), so make sure that your jacket and shoes are at least water-repellent.
• Sun protection ( headwear, sunglasses, sun cream...)
• Snack and drink according to individual needs (at least 1.5, preferably 2 litres per day!
• Hut sleeping bag! This must be used in huts!
• Smartphone or audio player because of audio files, headphones. Note: These are required before the ascent to the Totes Gebirge mountain range, so download them,as mobile phone signal coverage is hardly/not possible in the mountains.
• Other items such as hygiene products, blister plasters, rescue blanket (gold-silver), hiking poles, etc., but pay attention to the total weight of all your luggage! Note for all those who usually hike with less luggage: Pack everything in your rucksack, carry it on your shoulder and adjust it so that the weight can be carried more easily and then hike for at least some time, optimising it if necessary.
