Shelters are a valuable asset to our area, providing hikers with a valuable foothold for treks. When in use, it is important not to leave traces of one's passage, so we recommend:
- Do not leave food easily accessible to mice and other animals;
- Clean the common areas;
- Take any kind of waste downstream
Structure always open and unmanaged, the maintenance of which is taken care of by the Park Authority with the fundamental contribution of local volunteers and all users!
