    On the way...With respect for wildlife and the environment!

    In the Pölstal valley, particular importance is attached to the preservation of unspoilt nature. So that people's enjoyment does not become a problem for wild animals and nature, consideration is required.

    For the sake of nature and the environment, correct behaviour in the mountains is the top priority for hikers.

    - Use the designated car parks

    - Do not block any access roads and please observe local driving bans

    - Observe information boards at the starting points and stick to the recommended marked routes

    - Avoid approaching wild animals

    Equipment

    Basic rules for hikers in the Pölstal...

    Before every mountain tour, check your personal fitness and correctly assess your strength. The length of your tour will depend on this. Plan each tour carefully. Make sure you have the necessary equipment, sufficient provisions and the local weather forecast and inform friends about your hiking destination and, if necessary, the planned return time. Always stay on the marked paths. Always close fences and pasture gates. Watch out for falling rocks and do not kick any stones yourself. Doing so endangers other hikers. In the event of bad weather, sudden indisposition or other difficulties, do not take any risks and turn back in good time. Avoid approaching wild animals. - Observe from a distance. Keep dogs on a lead. Use the designated car parks, do not block any access roads and observe local driving bans.

    What do I need for hiking?

    The equipment depends on the difficulty, location and duration of the hiking route,

    and your own requirements:

    - sturdy shoes

    - rucksack

    - Clothing appropriate to the season

    - Sun protection (glasses, headgear, cream)

    - Small first-aid kit (gauze bandage, plasters, scissors and knife)

    - Orientation aids (hiking maps)

    - Sufficient drinks and provisions

    - Mobile phone with emergency numbers

    - Personal medication
