One-day hikes certainly have advantages: for one, you can put your heavy stuff away and hike with a daypack of necessities, essentially a few sandwiches and a bottle of water. (Hands up everybody who enjoys lugging around 10 kg or more. Well? … I thought so.) You also know what expects you in the evening, which means that in the afternoon heat and exhaustion, a few miles away from your destination, you can already start fantasizing about where exactly you are going to sit in the beer garden of your choice and where you are going to put up your feet.
