Safety guidelines
Despite the marking of hiking trails, we always recommend carrying an appropriate hiking map for safety reasons, so that you can quickly find a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or an emergency.
Especially in autumn, it is important to note that the leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop afterward. Particularly in adverse weather conditions, natural pathways can become muddy and slippery. You should expect such trail impairments when embarking on a hike.
Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or guardrails. Certain sections may require sure-footedness. If you feel that specific sections of the trail are not passable for you, it is advisable to bypass them.
