Tips for even more hiking pleasure: Rules of conduct while hiking

 

A few tips on how to behave properly and fairly 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 & Co have no place in the forest! Please make sure that you do not leave any trash in the forest.

Camping and making fire - is strictly forbidden in the forest!

In principle, each person is allowed to collect 2 kg of mushrooms and berries per day for personal use in the forest. It is only forbidden if the forest owner expressly prohibits it.
