Planning Plan the excursion with the children. Privilege circular routes with varied paths, so as to make the walk more stimulating than the return routes. We also recommend the thematic trails or educational tours that, in a playful way, bring children closer to culture and to various interesting topics. Here are some ideas for your next excursion.

Age-appropriate route

Choose the type of excursion based on the age of the children. Remember that the little ones, by taking short steps, get tired more easily. The walks of five hours or more are not suitable for children under the age of six.

Captivating stops

Plan stops at interesting places with, for example, pitches for roasting, streams or playgrounds. Children cannot wait to reach them and will even be willing to make an extra effort.

Equipment

It is important to wear safe and water-repellent boots and follow the principle of "onion" clothing to best react to climate change. In the backpack, you should also never miss a spare sweater, protection against sun and rain (cap, sunscreen, sunglasses) and a first aid kit for hikers.

Bring two liters of unsweetened water or tea to drink. The picnic prepared with the children is ideal sandwiches with wholemeal bread, cheese and salami and various salads (potatoes, rice or pasta). But pay attention to the weight of food; do not forget that you will carry it on your shoulders all day. Also, prepare some small snacks to be consumed during frequent stops, they are particularly recommended: fresh or dried fruit, cereal or energy bars and various types of vegetables (e.g. cucumbers, peppers, carrots, celery).
