Safety guidelines
Despite the "unmissable" marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a relevant hiking map for safety reasons, so that you can quickly find a safe area, for example in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.
Especially in autumn, it is also important to note that fallen leaves on the ground can hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall or branches drop later on. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. You must expect such trail impairments when going on a hike.
Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Some surefootedness is required. If you think certain trail sections are impassable for you, you should avoid them.
