Safety guidelines

We ask you to observe the following points on the winter hiking trails:

- Stay on the marked routes
- Avoid the cross-country ski trails if possible. If not possible, walk in single file and do not step into the tracks.
- Allow enough time and monitor the weather
- Behave quietly to have a chance to see wildlife; observe animals from a respectful distance
- If you bring your dog, it must be on a leash
- Regarding waste: take it home with your beautiful memories and leave only your footprints

If outdoor sports enthusiasts respect the space of the wildlife, fewer prohibitions and restrictions are needed and the natural landscape remains open for genuine nature experiences. We ask for careful consideration and thank you!
