Digital 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.
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).
