Particularly in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop. Especially under adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect such path impairments when hiking. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes required. If you believe certain sections of the path are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
