safety instructions
The forests in the national park are not used for forestry purposes. Old trees and those at risk of breakage will not be removed. Trees can tip over and branches fall onto the paths. Visiting the national park and using all paths is therefore at your own risk! Please do not go into the forest in strong winds, heavy rain or snowfall.
This disturbs nature
Our natural heritage is protected in the national park. People are guests here. Nature requires special consideration. Therefore, please observe the behavioral instructions.
Nature is severely disturbed by the following actions:
- Don't scare animals
- Do not deviate from the marked paths
- Please be quiet so as not to scare animals
- Do not carelessly dispose of empty cans, bottles and other rubbish in the landscape
- Do not pick plants
- Do not light fires in the national park
- Keep your dog on a leash so that he doesn't startle any animals
- Park in the designated areas
- Camping is not permitted in the national park. Take advantage of the official offers
Way markings
You can reach the special features of the national park via the marked hiking trails. Circular trails from the national park's hiking car parks are marked with animal or plant symbols. There are “sign trees” with place names at selected crossroads. They are landmarks for the hiker.
Rescue points
The official rescue points (e.g. KB-426) are entered/marked on the maps and signs on site in the national park. If you are injured, you can inform the emergency services (telephone: 112) of the relevant point. Unfortunately, the cell phone network is not comprehensive.
Liability
