title: ["Rough pleasures"--and the good outdoor life. Physicians as pioneers of the outdoor life].
abstract: From the middle of the last century, mountain tourism has become an important part of our national tradition and culture. The physical activity and the pleasure and relaxation achieved by walking in wild areas is believed to have beneficial effects on health. Several colleagues in the medical profession were early pioneers in mountain walking and in the discovery and description of former "white spots" on maps. They communicated their feeling and love for nature, and the pleasure gained from their eventful expeditions. They taught us respect and concern for our special environment, with its great opportunities for a variety of leisure time adventures.
