Conduct and safety

Do not use the walking routes for running, cycling or driving in motorised vehicles.
Walk in a group. If you do decide to go alone, leave details of your planned route either at your accommodation or at the local fire station or GNR/PSP police station before setting out. Do not forget to let them know that you have returned safely.
Wear suitable clothing and footwear. Take sufficient food and water with you for the whole day, as well as a means of communication and a personal first aid kit.
Listen to your body. If you are tired, very hot or cold, have a fever or an allergic reaction, are thirsty, hungry, or uncomfortable for any reason, stop immediately and try to make your way to safety. If you have to, do not hesitate to call for help or assistance.
Be particularly cautious when crossing streams, bridges, roads, streets, and railway lines.
Pay close attention to places marked as hunting reserves and to the dates of the hunting season. Do not go walking when hunting events are taking place.
Stay on the marked trails and be respectful of private and public property. If you open any gates or raise any barriers along the way, be sure to close or lower them again behind you.
Avoid the use of plastics and dispose of rubbish in the proper places.
Do not light fires or use naked flames for any reason.
Choose the tourist offer and local shops to sleep, eat and consume.
