    UFFBASSE! - Campaign for respectful coexistence in nature

    - Always behave considerately, friendly, and respectfully towards everyone you meet on the way.

    - Respect nature, do not destroy plants, and always stay on the paths.

    - Remember to take a rubbish bag with you and take your waste back home.

    - Please always keep your dog on a leash. Other visitors and animals will thank you.

    - For your own safety, observe all path closures. Also on weekends.

    - Park only in designated parking spaces. Leave room for emergency access routes and agricultural machinery.

    - Give priority to agricultural and forestry traffic.

    Author’s recommendation

    Safety information

    General information:

    Especially in autumn, care should be taken that the leaves lying on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones, or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rains, trees can still fall or branches can break off. Under adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is required in places. You should expect such path impairments when hiking. If you believe certain sections are impassable for you, you should avoid them.

    NOTE:

    We strive to announce all closures due to forest work or hunting parties on this platform. Nevertheless, there may be situations where hiking trails are closed and we have not been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a path closure or detour, please heed the instructions for your own safety.

    Equipment

    For our hiking routes we recommend the following equipment as standard:

    - sturdy footwear

    - weather-appropriate clothing

    - sun and rain protection

    - sufficient supply of food and drinks, as there are not always catering or shopping opportunities available or open.

    - Although the paths are very well marked throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable

    hiking map so that you can quickly find a safe area, for example, in the event of a thunderstorm or an emergency.

    - Hiking poles recommended.
