The Dolomites are fantastic!
In northern Italy, along the Austrian border, lies a hiker's paradise: the Dolomites.
It is Italy, but German is widely spoken, as the region is partly German-speaking (it became part of Italy after the First World War).
How to filter water when hiking?
When hiking, finding safe drinking water is THE priority. But far from civilisation, hikers may doubt the quality of water from a spring, stream or lake, and still more from stagnant water.
Effective solutions exist to purify water easily. Whether mechanical, chemical or UV-based, these filtration systems help turn contaminated water into drinking water simply.
So how do you filter water when hiking? How do these purification systems work? Rayonrando explains what you need to know about water filtration and choosing equipment for future trips, wild camps or day hikes.
