Getting up with the sunrise, enjoying a coffee from the gas or spirit stove in the middle of nature, full of anticipation of an exciting day of hiking: this feeling is simply indescribable. It is not for nothing that trekking is becoming more and more popular as a leisure activity. If you want to try trekking or if you already have experience and are looking for new tours, tips and ideas, you are at the right place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trekking &#8211; that means hiking for several days and enjoying nature. You can spend the night in a tent, on a hut or under the open sky. Wild camping is not allowed in many countries and regions, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy trekking tours &#8211; in Europe and all over the world. Everything you need to know about preparation, equipment, tour planning and exciting trekking routes can be found here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung-1024x738.jpg\" alt=\"Trekking wants to be prepared: Tent, sleeping bag, camping stove and trekking food must definitely go.\" class=\"wp-image-7894\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung-1024x738.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung-768x554.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung-1536x1107.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.tatonka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Trekking-Ausr\u00fcstung.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare a trekking tour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to hike for several days at a time, you can&#8217;t just go for it.
