Hiking – Equipment & Rucksacks for Every Trip

When hiking, the right equipment – particularly the right rucksack – plays a crucial role in ensuring comfort, safety and organisation. The equipment required varies significantly depending on the type of hike and should always be adapted to the duration, terrain and weather conditions.


The right hiking rucksack

Hiking rucksacks are specially designed to carry equipment ergonomically and safely.

  • Capacity depending on the trip: approx. 10–30 litres (day trip) or more for longer trips
  • Padded shoulder straps and hip belt for better load distribution
  • Breathable back padding for comfort

Typical equipment in the rucksack

Depending on the trip, different essentials should be packed in the hiking rucksack.

  • Water and food for the route
  • Weatherproof clothing (rain jacket, spare clothes)
  • First-aid kit, sun or cold protection
  • Small items such as a mobile phone, map, power bank or pocket knife

Organisation & packing structure

A well-packed rucksack ensures greater comfort and quicker access whilst on the move.

  • Place heavy items close to your body and in the centre
  • Pack light clothing at the bottom or on the outside
  • Store items you need quickly in upper or outer compartments

Hiking with the right equipment and a well-chosen rucksack ensures a pleasant, safe and efficient experience of the great outdoors – whether it’s a short walk or a longer mountain hike.
