Safety Guidelines
For your own safety and to protect flora and fauna, please always stay on the marked paths. The trail has partly steep, difficult, and slippery sections in rainy or winter weather. Therefore, sure-footedness and good fitness are essential prerequisites.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting societies on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where trails may be closed, and we might not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a road closure or detour, please observe the signs for your own safety.
Hazard situations:
In case of an emergency, quick help is needed. Even though mobile phones can send GPS signals, the classic rescue points are often the fastest way to get help. These are located in places accessible to rescue vehicles. Remember the points with green signs and a white cross. In an emergency, return there and give the number on the sign when calling for help. This way, rescuers will know where to find you.
Equipment
- Sturdy and comfortable footwear.
- Weather-appropriate clothing, possibly in layers.
- Backpack with provisions: enough to drink and possibly food, as there are not always places to eat or shop or they may be closed.
- Depending on the weather, sun or rain protection, as well as mosquito/tick protection.
