Way number: 9

  • Plan your trip in advance, taking into account walking time, distance, elevation gain, hazards, and weather reports.
  • Let others know where you are going and when you want to be back.
  • Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you are caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from free-standing trees and wait out the storm, crouching if possible.
  • Stay on marked trails and remember to close pasture fences.
  • If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure it stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
Good shoes and clothes.
