Read more Safety guidelines Despite the “unmistakable” marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons so that you can quickly find a safe area in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency. Especially in autumn, note that leaves on the ground can cover uneven spots, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop afterwards. Especially in bad weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery. You should expect such trail impairments when hiking. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Sometimes surefootedness is required. If you feel that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
