Safety information
- Responsible cycling at controlled speeds where the view is obstructed particularly in bends because obstacles must be anticipated at all times: stones, branches, road damage, temporarily stored wood, grazing livestock, cattle gates, barriers, vehicles and forestry machinery, road closures, etc.- Hikers and pedestrians have the right of way. Considerate overtaking takes place at a walking pace.
- Agricultural and forestry management has the right of way on the open paths. Cattle gates must be closed again, temporary road closures must be observed.
- Do not leave the designated, signposted routes. That protects nature and wildlife habitats.
- Good tour planning takes the difficulty of the route and your own abilities into account. That also includes helmet, protective equipment and a bike that is in perfect working order.
