Equipment

Proper backpacking makes many things easier: pack heavy things first. The water bottle should always be within easy reach in a side pocket.
All things that are often needed, such as sunglasses, camera or hiking map, belong on top.
Before the start of the hike, check the opening times for refreshment stops and pack the appropriate food.
Emergency equipment (incl. blister plaster) belongs in every backpack!
It is always advisable to dress according to the onion system!
A good hiking boot is a good companion and should never be missing on the mountain!
Do not forget a blister plaster just in case!

A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest: (Source: www.bundesforste.at )

Hikers should avoid visits to the forest about 1.5 hours before sunrise and after sunset, as wild animals are particularly active during this time.

Plastic bottles, handkerchiefs, cigarette butts etc. have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any rubbish in the forest.

Camping and lighting fires are strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, every person is allowed to pick 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.

Tips

A snack at the Buschenschank Kuchlbauer is a must. Enjoy the homemade products.
