The 6 Best Hiking skirt

Table of Contents:

Hiking is not only the desire of the miller, but also of the miller’s wife. In times when hardly anyone in this country goes on a journey without functional clothing, it is only logical that there are also special hiking skirts. But let’s first dedicate ourselves to the hiking itself. Rarely has hiking been so popular with so many people as it is today. In the past, people were more likely to migrate because there was no alternative to walking. People wandered in search of work or to trade on markets. One wandered because one was on the run – unfortunately also today again sad reality – or in order to explore new world areas. The roll of the journeymen was also a professional hike. The pilgrimage, on the other hand, had religious reasons and was to serve purification. Today, on the other hand, you hike for pleasure and relaxation. Hiking is an active leisure activity and is good for your health. In addition, hiking offers the most wonderful natural experiences, whether by the sea, in the mountains or simply in the park and forest near your own home.

The origins of so-called purpose-free hiking lie above all in the Enlightenment and in Romanticism. It has already been mentioned that today’s hiking is by no means purposeless. Even before the Enlightenment, there were already a few wanderers, such as the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca. Also in the Middle Ages hiking was already a concept. In the Enlightenment, the bourgeoisie emancipated itself from the class of the nobility. The new self-confidence of the citizens found expression in upright walking with an alert mind. The Romantics, on the other hand, turned against the primacy of understanding and reason as propagated by the Enlightenment. They went into nature consciously and intensively. The Romantics were less interested in social conditions. For them, nature and landscape were mirrors of themselves. A kind of tourism set in. The Brocken was hiked and the cliffs of the Baltic Sea. The pictures of Caspar David Friedrich and the poems of Heinrich Heine and many other poets bear witness to this. Back then, men wore frock coats. Whether there were also special hiking skirts for the gentleman can only be guessed at.

From the middle of the 19th century onwards, numerous hiking and local associations were founded in Germany. Hiking trails were opened up and shelters were built. The song of the wandering miller was also written in 1844. In 1883 the German Hiking Association was founded in Fulda. This was followed in 1895 by the foundation of the Friends of Nature in Vienna. They built numerous low-cost hostels where even less well-off nature lovers could spend the night. In 1901 the Association of the Migratory Bird Movement was founded, a bourgeois youth movement that revived the ideals of Romanticism. The soon following world wars put an end to the wanderlust. Today now the possibilities to hike are numerous and seemingly unlimited. You can hike in the mountains or in winter, in large groups or in pairs, with sticks or without. The market has a wide range of hiking equipment and clothing for everyone, and of course a suitable hiking skirt for the lady.

Walking skirts should have all the qualities you would expect from modern functional clothing. A good hiking skirt must be comfortable and elastic as well as robust and breathable.
