Description of the exercise:
One group plans the hike: They search the route with the help of a map and prepare the map in a way, that the others can find the way by map.
Pay particular attention to a varied course, suitable resting places and time for natural experiences.
It is important to take care of the metres of the altitude to be conquered (the hike can take much more time than calculated!)
