Tips for even more hiking fun: Rules of conduct when hiking

A few tips on correct and fair behavior in the forest:

(Source: www.bundesforste.at )

• Hikers should avoid visiting the forest approx. 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active at this time.
• Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any garbage in the forest.
• Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!
• In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

• Small rucksack with water bottle (+ provisions)- Sturdy shoes
• Appropriate clothing - preferably several layers - "onion principle"
• Rain and sun protection
• Hiking poles as required
• Cell phone
• Small first aid kit
• Route description
• Before starting the hike, check where you can stop for refreshments, including opening times, or pack suitable food and drink.
