Equipment

Es ist zu beachten, dass im Bergsport ein erhöhtes Unfall- und Verletzungsrisiko bestehen kann. Trotz umsichtiger Tourenplanung bleibt immer ein Basisrisiko bestehen. Eine Tourenvorbereitung durch Ausdauersport, entsprechendes technisches Training und Fortbildung sowie persönliche Umsichtigkeit mindert die Unfallgefahr und die Risiken. Vergessen Sie aber bitte nie, dass das Wetter in den Bergen sehr schnell umschlagen kann. Bleiben Sie auf den markierten Wanderwegen. Up-to-date and well-maintained equipment (shoes, poles and clothing) not only provides a considerable degree of safety but also makes hiking much easier. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) and sufficient liquids should not be forgotten.

Description

As the area around the Vilsalpsee, which has been a designated nature reserve for over 50 years and is also a Natura 2000 site, this hike is particularly attractive.

The barrier-free paths and excursion destinations we have selected also invite families and people with mobility aids to discover them: most of them are asphalted or well gravelled and can usually be negotiated with baby carriages or wheelchairs without any problems - although a helping hand may be an advantage in some passages.
