Fair Play Rules for Mountain Bikers
Mountain biking is an exciting sporting and nature experience!
It’s easy to get so caught up in the moment that you forget everything around you.
But be careful—after all, you’re not the only one on the trails!
Riding sensibly and considerately ensures a safe and accident-free mountain biking experience.
A few simple rules help prevent conflicts from arising in the first place.
Cycling and mountain biking in the Gesäuse National Park are permitted only from April 15 through October 31, from 2 hours after sunrise until 1 hour before sunset!
Riding is permitted exclusively on approved and marked trails!
Riding bans and closures also apply to mountain bikers.
Be considerate of other nature enthusiasts!
Approach hikers or horseback riders slowly and use your bell if necessary.
Avoid unnecessary noise and be considerate of the animals.
This also means riding only during daylight hours.
Mountain bikers are guests in the forest—behave respectfully toward landowners, foresters, and hunters.
Approach grazing livestock at a walking pace to avoid causing the animals to panic.
Important: After passing through, all pasture gates must be closed!

A first-aid kit belongs in your backpack, along with a cell phone (European emergency number 112), a repair kit, warm clothing, rain gear, a light, and plenty of food and drink. Gloves and goggles protect your hands and eyes. Maps or a GPS are valuable tools for navigation. Always wear a helmet when going uphill or downhill!
