Safety information

Safety instructions - safe hiking on the Traumpfade

Hikers desire narrow paths, natural trails (over forest floor, grassy paths, or along streams), and rocky ascents that lead to spectacular views. It goes without saying that such paths must be walked with special attention.

What you should consider on your hike:

• Wear weather-appropriate, suitable clothing that protects you from cold, wetness, or heat and sun.
• Plan your hike with adequate breaks and conserve your energy.
• Bring enough fluids. There are not always opportunities for refreshments.
• Please wear hiking shoes appropriate for the Traumpfad that provide sufficient support even on slippery, steep, rocky, and uneven paths.
• If you think certain sections are not passable for you, you should avoid or turn back. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can become muddy and slippery.
• Especially in autumn, note that fallen leaves can hide unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path.
• You must expect path impairments of this kind when hiking.
• Check online before your hike at https://www.traumpfade.info/traumpfade/wege-status/ to see if the Traumpfad you want to hike is possibly closed, if detours exist, or if path construction work, logging work, or other disturbances are planned.
• Recommended hiking months: April to October.

Difficulty classification

Easy routes

...have only slight elevation changes and can usually be managed in half a day in terms of distance. They do not pose special demands on fitness or surefootedness. No sections require a fear of heights. Short steeper sections are possible. Depending on path format, some parts may be difficult to walk in wet weather.

Medium routes

...can be managed well with normal fitness. Path sections may require good surefootedness, so sturdy shoes are important; hiking poles can be useful. Some longer and steeper ascents and descents are possible. Difficult (partly secured) sections are extremely rare and can usually be avoided by detours. Natural sections can be difficult to walk in wet weather.

Difficult routes

...require very good fitness and endurance due to length and/or elevation gain. Very good surefootedness is also necessary to manage steep ascents and descents on sometimes challenging paths. Rope-secured sections and/or simple climbing passages requiring a minimum degree of fearlessness may be possible. Sturdy footwear and hiking poles are important. Paths and exposed sections are often difficult or impossible to walk on in wet or wintry weather.
