Water and drinking
Don't just drink when you feel thirsty
You should drink enough, especially during hot spells. You should not wait until you are thirsty, as thirst is already a sign of deficiency. If possible, do not drink coffee, highly sweetened drinks or drinks containing alcohol.
Therefore: Try to drink a glass of water every hour, even if you are not thirsty. Tap water is recommended, as it is one of the best controlled foods in Germany.

Refill stickers
Chemnitz-specific refill stickers are available free of charge on request by e-mail. Standard refill stickers can also be downloaded free of charge.
