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.
