Participation, Preparation, and Health
- What to bring: comfortable, weatherproof clothing and non-slip shoes; bring a drink if needed. If you are using a walker, check the brakes.
- Weather & Safety: Walks often take place even in light rain. In case of icy conditions, storms, or official severe weather warnings, dates may be canceled or adjusted at short notice. The organizers' instructions are decisive.
- Pace & Breaks: Walk at your own pace. Short breaks are advisable, especially in cold weather or if walking becomes more strenuous.
- Companionship: Relatives, friends, and acquaintances can usually join and provide additional support.
- Health: If you are unsure (e.g., due to cardiovascular issues, balance, pain, or recent illness), clarify health questions with your family doctor in advance and pay attention to warning signs during the walk (e.g., dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain).
