Safety information
Especially in autumn, be aware that the leaves on the ground can conceal unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can break off. Particularly under adverse weather conditions, natural paths may have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or chasms are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes necessary. You must expect such path impairments when hiking. If you believe certain sections of the paths are not passable for you, you should avoid them.
NOTE:
We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting groups on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please observe the instructions for your own safety.
