Read more Safety guidelines - Regularly check your location and compare it with the schedule. This allows you to consider alternatives, shortcuts, or abort the hike in time. - If bad weather sets in, turn back or seek shelter in time. If thunderclouds appear, it is advised to end the hike as quickly as possible. - Do not leave marked trails. Stay on official hiking paths even if some trails look like shortcuts. Some of these paths are not maintained and may end in a dead end. - Lost? Stay together as a group and return to the last known point. Wait for better visibility or call for help. - Plan enough time and energy reserves for the descent. - Reduce your pace and take breaks. - Steep grassy, scree, and snow slopes are safer to manage going up than descending. - If necessary, choose the easier variant for descent or take the train down. - Pass cattle herds calmly and with enough distance. Keep dogs on a leash. - When encountering livestock guardian dogs: stay calm so the dog notices you are not a threat to the herd. Pass the herd with generous distance. - Let mountain bikers pass without unnecessarily obstructing their ride.
