AdventurerEagleDigital hiking maps help you find suitable hiking tours quickly and clearly. We present four free apps in which you will surely find a route for your next hikes.
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
The children can paint a route. They should record whether it goes through the forest or over the fields, whether you pass a lake on their route or climb over a mountain. So you will find out what your children are interested in and can take this into your planning. The children can do this while you look at the apps or look for routes.
This also promotes the anticipation of the hike.
1. Bergfex:
This free hiking app includes many tours, which are arranged close to fitness level, by distance, by duration or height profile. It offers tips on how to get there and the necessary hiking equipment. For children you can make sure to choose a lower distance, select a light fitness level or make appropriate arrangements if the little ones no longer want to hike (e.g. take Manduca or Kraxe).

2. Komoot:
Is a free bike and outdoor route planner, which can be easily operated and offers many tours worldwide. The first region is free of charge. Access is available after registration. Between hiking, cycling, road bike tours, mountain bikini and jogging can be chosen and also according to distance and difficulty level. But here, too, there is no option for children suitable or designated routes. Therefore, also here, attention is paid to distance and difficulty level. comoot

Don't miss any more adventures: Our bottle mail
Today we tried the tour to the cooker's origin in Unterkochen. We changed the tour (Komoot) a little bit and shortened it. In Unterkochen we turned into the Bischof-Hefele-Weg and started there at the parking lot from the sports field. After crossing the second bridge keep always right, then you come back to the parking lot. There is a short steeper piece, the small children at the hand but can cope well.
On this circular trail (2.5 km) the little ones get their money's worth. You can see many springs and the children can get into the water in many places. Matschhose and rubber boots must not be missing during this hike. Also a self-made paper ship and a bucket provide a lot of fun.
Dear Jen, thank you for your experience with Kommot and the advice on how to shorten this route. For children, this seems to be a paradise.
Dear Elke from the adventure market.
Definitely it's a paradise!
Today we once again took a walk with Kommot in the cooker's origin (white cooker in Unterkochen). We ran again the shortened route to the first spring. On the way there we collected sticks and sprayed them in the water, threw them in and fished them out. At the spring the water is so flat that even small children can play and splash in the water. After that we collected stones and threw them into the water. It is nice to watch what the little girl was amazed about, what ideas she had and what adventures she experienced in nature.
Explorer Jen.
Another tip: With rubber boots, the children can walk well through the water.
Dear Jen,
Thank you for this detailed description and your impressions. Nice to learn how fascinating nature is for children and what adventures the little ones can experience there.
Cordial, Elke from the Adventure Market
