#WatchOut! For consideration and nature conservation
Hiking, walking, strolling, cycling, mountain biking, climbing, trekking, picnicking, forest bathing, chilling, and dining. Holidays and leisure in the fresh air should be fun and above all relaxing. This works best when we treat ourselves, others, and nature carefully and attentively. SO: PAY ATTENTION AND THINK ALONG! Be considerate to all who are on the way and especially to nature, so that we can continue to enjoy it in the distant future.
At www.pfalz.de/uffbasse we have listed some tips for considerate and careful coexistence.

Waldgaststätte CramerhausSafety information
Despite the marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a corresponding hiking map for safety reasons, so that in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency you can quickly find a safe area.
Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees can still fall or branches break off afterward. Particularly under adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. You should expect these kinds of trail impairments when hiking. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is partly required. If you believe certain sections of the trail are impassable, you should bypass them.
