Safety information
Safety information here.
Even though there are no great differences in altitude, the rocky terrain is quite difficult at some places. It is wise to wear sturdy shoes with rigid soles, which also support the ankles. In the spring, when the snow melts, water rises on the duckboards. During this time, you will need to wear rubber boots.
Please note that there is no paper in the toilets.
Please note, that lighting campfires is forbidden also at the campfire places if the forest fire warning is in effect.
If you face an emergency on your hike, e.g. get lost, get injured or observe wildfire, call 112 and report an emergency. More information on how to act in an emergency. Make sure you pack a first-aid kit.
