All about hiking
Experienced mountain guides, tips for cosy refreshment stops and refreshing bathing opportunities - here you will find everything you need to make your hiking experience in the Salzkammergut even more special.
Hiking maps, guide literature, Internet and experts provide information about length, altitude difference, difficulty and the current conditions. Always tailor tours to the group!
Adapt your equipment to your undertaking and make sure your backpack is light. Rain, cold and sun protection always belong in the backpack, as well as first aid kit and cell phone (Euro emergency 112).
Stable hiking boots protect and relieve the foot and improve surefootedness. When making your choice, look for a perfect fit, non-slip treaded sole, waterproofness and light weight.
In pathless terrain, the risk of disorientation, falling and falling rocks increases. Avoid shortcuts and return to the last known point once you have gone off the trail. Often underestimated and very dangerous: steep old snow fields.
Falls, as a result of slipping or tripping, are the most common cause of accidents! Note that too much speed or fatigue will greatly affect your surefootedness and concentration. Take special care when descending. Careful walking prevents falling rocks.
Mountain hiking is an endurance sport. The positive stress stimuli for heart and circulation require health and a realistic self-assessment. Avoid time pressure and choose the pace so that no one in the group gets out of breath.
Timely rest is for recreation, enjoyment of the scenery and socializing. Eating and drinking are necessary to maintain performance and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal thirst quenchers.
Note that variety and playful discovery for children are in the foreground! In passages with a risk of falling, an adult can only supervise one child. Very exposed tours that require prolonged concentration are not suitable for children.
Small groups ensure flexibility and allow mutual assistance. Inform familiar people about destination, route and return. Stay together in the group. Attention lone hikers: Even small incidents can lead to emergencies.
To protect mountain nature: do not leave litter, avoid noise, stay on the trails, do not disturb wild and grazing animals, leave plants untouched and respect protected areas. To get there, use public transport or carpool.
Throughout Austria, the number 140 is valid for alpine emergencies.
