Climate Protection Path Dienten

Self-assessment: Before each mountain tour, check your physical fitness and realistically assess your own strength as well as that of your companions – especially children! Sure-footedness and a head for heights are often very important!

Planning and preparation: Plan each intended mountain tour carefully in advance. Hiking maps and guides, as well as information from alpine clubs and locals such as mountain guides and hut hosts, can be helpful.

Equipment: Appropriate equipment and clothing are required for mountain outings, especially sturdy, high shoes with grippy soles. Protection against weather and cold is essential, as the weather can often change suddenly.

Weather forecasts: Check current weather conditions at: zamg.at or www.uwz.at.

Togetherness: Follow the 10 rules for proper interaction with grazing animals and do not leave any litter in nature!

Do not dislodge stones: Do not dislodge stones as this can seriously endanger other hikers. Marked areas with danger of falling rocks should be crossed quickly with attention and caution.

Turn back in time: This is no shame but a sign of wisdom. It becomes necessary if the weather changes, fog sets in, or if the path is too difficult or not in good condition.

Emergency numbers: Alpine emergency: 140, International emergency: 112, Rescue: 144
