#BeCareful! For consideration and nature protection
Hiking, strolling, walking, cycling, mountain biking, climbing, trekking, picnicking, forest bathing, chilling and stopping for refreshments. Holidays and leisure time outdoors should be fun and above all relaxing. This works best if we act carefully and attentively with ourselves, with other people and with nature. SO: BE ALERT AND THINK! Be considerate of everyone on the way and especially of nature so that we can continue to enjoy it in the distant future.
At www.pfalz.de/uffbasse we have listed some behavioral tips for considerate and careful coexistence.

Safety information
Despite the marking of the hiking trails, we recommend always carrying a suitable hiking map for safety reasons, so that you can quickly find a safe area in case of a thunderstorm or emergency.
Especially in autumn, be aware that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After storms, trees may still fall or branches may drop. In adverse weather conditions, natural trails can become muddy and slippery. Such trail impairments must be expected when hiking. Not all rocks or ravines are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is partially required. If you think certain sections of the trail are impassable, you should avoid them.
