Safety Guidelines

For your own safety and to protect the flora and fauna, please always stay on the marked paths. The hiking trail partly has steep, difficult, and slippery sections in rainy or winter weather. Therefore, surefootedness and good fitness are essential prerequisites.

NOTE:

We strive to announce all closures caused by forest work or hunting groups on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where trails are closed and we might not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a trail closure or diversion, please follow the instructions for your own safety.

Hazard situations:

If an emergency occurs, prompt help is required. And although mobile phones can send GPS signals, classic rescue points often provide the quickest assistance. These are located at spots easily 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, rescue workers will know where to find you.
