Hiking Recommendations

All hikers are responsible for their own safety. Therefore, you undertake these hikes at your own risk. Stay on the marked trails to protect fragile environments.

General recommendations:

• Check the weather forecast before you set off


• Some routes cross busy roads: Be careful


• Keep dogs on a leash


• Do not light fires


• Take your litter with you


• Admire the flowers, do not pick them.


• Tick bites can lead to serious illnesses. For prevention: wear long clothing, use repellents, check yourself upon your return, remove ticks with a tick remover tool without applying any substance to them, and consult a doctor if a rash appears, you have flu-like symptoms, or if you are in a high-risk group.


• For emergency services, dial 18 or 112.
