And to make sure everything goes smoothly, we’ll keep the hiker’s charter in mind:
- make sure you have enough to eat and drink
- bring warm clothing and rain gear
- wear good shoes
- never leave the group
- listen to and follow your guide’s instructions
- stay on the paths and don’t cut the laces
- don’t trample meadows and undergrowth
- admire the plants and flowers, but never pick them, even if they are not officially protected
- listen to nature, not disturbing its silence
- observe animals, but don’t disturb them
- say hello to any hiker you meet
- respect priorities: horse riders, then hikers, then cyclists
- take your rubbish with you, even biodegradable rubbish
- your needs are natural, but their residues are not: take your toilet paper and tissues with you
