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.

A 1/2-hour climb up to the Ringwarte from the Spielstatt is definitely worthwhile.
