Germany
The hiking movement experienced its first climax in the Romantic era , among others with the writers Wackenroder and Tieck . In the regional area, too, some poets - sometimes only posthumously, such as Peter Rosegger in the Waldheimat - triggered a strong migration movement.
In Germany, the movement institutionalized itself among the citizens and finally among the workers from the end of the 19th century. It organized itself in hiking clubs and associations . Her work also included laying out and marking out hiking trails as well as building refuges and refuges . Some of the hikers also went mountain hiking and / or mountaineering ; many of them organized themselves in mountain clubs . Growing prosperity after the war in 1870/71 , the increasing recognition of vacation entitlement and the dense rail network (see also the history of the railways ) favored travel to recreational areas (see also tourism ).
