- Sun and rain protection

- Sufficient supply of food and drinks, as refreshment or shopping opportunities are not available or open everywhere.

- Although the paths are consistently very well marked, it is advised for safety reasons to always carry a suitable

   hiking map so that, for example, in case of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.

- Trekking poles recommended.

Prepare packed meals from Monday to Friday.

General information:

Especially in autumn, care should be taken that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees may still fall or branches fall down afterward. Especially under adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in some places. You must expect impairments of this kind when hiking. If you believe certain path sections are not passable for you, then you should avoid them.

NOTE:

We strive to announce all closures due to forestry work or hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please observe the notices for your own safety.
