Leave everyday life behind and spend quality time in the great outdoors with your loved ones. Here we have put together 8 tips on how to motivate even the smallest "mountain grump".
- Magic word: Snacks
By providing children with delicious and healthy snacks, they not only get the necessary energy, but these can also serve as an incentive: Those who behave well and march along will receive a reward!
- Water
For a refreshing break, a spray bottle filled with water provides a quick pick-me-up. Beautiful, clear mountain streams may invite you to refill it.
- Creating/installing highlights
Choose a route that keeps the excitement alive and even includes a surprise such as a waterfall. You can get tour tips in advance...
- Tasks
Tasks such as collecting various leaves help to maintain attention, and children also walk through the forest and landscape with open eyes.
- Bookworm
The right book is the ideal companion on the mountain and the kids can also playfully learn interesting facts about nature, forest, and history.
- Friends for life
With a good friend by your side, time flies by and hiking quickly becomes secondary. Shared activities and movements such as playing tag or going on a discovery journey enhance motivation.
- Small Mountain Guide
Plan a route together with your children in advance and then let the little ones take over the navigation in parts. Even if they might not be great at reading maps, the little guides will at least grow a few centimeters taller with pride.
- Keep it simple
Choose a hiking route that is well suited for children and fits within the time frame. Ideally, your nature experience should also pass by a hut for a refreshment break.
