- Take a break and observe your surroundings. Who knows, maybe you'll catch a glimpse of the local wildlife.

Safety guidelines

Despite the "infallible" marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying an appropriate hiking map for safety reasons, so that, for example, in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.

Especially in autumn, it is important to note that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. You must expect such path impairments when hiking.

Not all rocks or precipices are secured with ropes or railings. Sometimes surefootedness is required. If you believe that certain sections of the path are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
