Tips for even more hiking fun: Rules of conduct when hiking
A few tips on correct and fair behavior in the forest:
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. - Tips

Bus departs daily except Saturdays from Großschedlmühle (approx. 2 km south of Maierhofermühle) to Hartberg
