Equipment

Dress appropriately for a hike:

Wear weather-appropriate, durable clothing. In any case, the clothing should protect you from possible rain and cold or sun and heat.
Even low mountain ranges often hold meteorological surprises. It is not uncommon, even in June, for a cold snap to occur at higher altitudes.
Sandals, bathing slippers, even sneakers are not the appropriate footwear for a hike.
Use hiking boots with ankle protection. Make sure they have a good tread and grip. After rain showers, it can be very slippery in the forest, even in summer, on roots, leaves and stones

Safety instructions
In order to really enjoy a hike in the Murtal and relax, please note the following points: Plan your stages according to your condition and ability. Take your time. Organize your energy very well, take enough breaks. There are very long sections. Not everywhere there are possibilities to stop for refreshments. For a long-distance hiker it goes without saying that he should have enough drinks (and snacks) with him. Adapt your behavior to the respective conditions, both meteorological and ground conditions. Study the weather forecast daily.

Pay attention to yourself and other hikers.

Tips

On the way back you can make a stop at the Hofer weaving mill, where a special Zirbenland fabric is on offer.
