The two-year project »Together ontour« had the goal to increase the image of hiking and to offer the hikers an attractive access to the region in the sense of a sustainable regional tourism.

The guides should be able to contribute to shaping the regional tourism persistently. In order to give them the necessary expertise the organisation NaturFreunde developed a particular training concept with tips for organizers of nature-oriented hikes in Germany. In the successor project, an educational concept for honorary traveling guides in the areas environmental education, nature experience and event pedagogic was developed and tested. The hikers‘ esteem and responsibility for the environment should be stimulated through a conscious and intensive experiencing of nature. Here, the project gave sustainable impulses.
