Equipment

Summer hiking:

No special safety instructions to be observed. If necessary, use sun or rain protection and take something to drink with you.

Winter hiking:

It should be noted that there is an increased risk of accidents and injuries during winter hiking. Especially in winter, special attention must be paid to the condition of the paths. Suitable clothing, good shoes and possibly hiking sticks provide additional safety. Stay on the marked paths.

Summer hiking:

No special equipment required, as the entire path is asphalted.

Winter hiking:

An up-to-date and well-kept/maintained equipment (shoes, sticks and clothes) not only provides a considerable degree of safety but also makes winter hiking much easier. Sun protection (high protection factor and possibly sunglasses) as well as sufficient liquid should not be forgotten.
