    Author’s recommendation

    Take only memories, leave only footprints. Ants and other insects or animals have not yet discovered how to consume plastic. Take all rubbish back with you.

    Don’t start a fire if you feel cold. Try walking faster.

    Smoking on the trail will not help in anything. Neither you, nor the risk of fire.

    Local people are not a tourist sight! If you want to take a picture, kindly ask. They will certainly smile to you!

    If you find a door on the trail, pass freely, and leave it as you found it.

    Stay on the trail. There is a reason why for many centuries people chose to walk on them and not elsewhere.
