If you feel like you’re ready to climb the walls, then it’s high time you get out and enjoy some fresh air. You won’t need any expensive fitness equipment, just the right hiking attire and your adventure can begin. We’ll let you in on ten reasons why hiking is the perfect sport during these tough times.

Taking a trip to beautiful Tux valley is an amazing experience. Since the valley is situated at an altitude of between 850 and 3,250 metres above sea level, plenty of snow is guaranteed from May to October. Thanks to its varied landscape of snow-covered hills, forests and ski slopes, this makes it the perfect environment for all winter sports. The higher reaches of the valley in particular are a paradise for skiers, snowboarders, cross-country skiers and many other outdoor enthusiasts. Stay the night in the towns of Hintertux, Finkenberg and Tux-Lanersbach and you’ll never regret it.

A chilled Riesling in one hand, my smartphone in the other, I let my gaze wander over the beautiful Rhine Valley.

Enjoying an adventure in the mountains for a few days and long-distance hikes are both beautiful and exhausting.

Below you can read how the Ophit 2.0 W tights from Maier Sports performed in our test.

Germany is a fantastic travel destination. From the high mountains and deep forests to whispering creeks and the majestic ocean, Germany and its neighbours offer everything a passionate outdoor enthusiast could wish for. For Stefan Taft, marketing manager at Maier Sports, that was reason enough to once again go on a little adventure.

This summer, Nick set himself the goal of getting to know the Kitzbühel Alps and the most beautiful places in the region with his hiking boots.
