Fair-play rules for cyclists
- Plan your route carefully!
- Check your bike before you start riding!
- Always wear the proper protective gear!
- Always wear a helmet!
- Do not forget full equipment (repair kit, first aid kit, etc.)!
- Only ride on marked paths!
- Observe traffic regulations!
- Observe driving bans and respect opening hours!
- Control your speed!
- Do not leave traces!
- Respect other nature users!
- Be considerate of animals (only ride during daylight & close pasture fences)!

A few tips for correct and fair behavior:
Cycling and mountain biking in the forest (oesterreich.gv.at)
Cyclists should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wildlife is particularly active at these times.
Plastic bottles, tissues, cigarette butts & co belong nowhere in the forest! Please ensure you do not leave any litter in the forest.
Camping and making fires are strictly prohibited in the forest!
