General information and notes

Description of the walks

The description integrates the maps and gives detailed information when the route is not clearly marked. Together with the route directions, short historical notes about the sights to be visited are given. “Right” and “left” refer to the walking direction.

Duration

The duration times given for the walks are generous and therefore suitable also for persons with little exercise.

Recommended period

Normally, these walks are possible during the whole year, except for winter, when there is snow. The recommended seasons are late spring, when the wild flowers bloom and autumn, when the woods are coloured in a thousand nuances.

Equipment

We recommend to wear light hiking boots, a hat and sun glasses. Also bring a water bottle, sun cream, binoculars and a small first aid kit.

Difficulty

Most of the walks are easy and suited also for those who do not exercise.

Dangers

The walks do not include particularly dangerous points. Choose the route considering your physical preparation, drink a lot, keep your eyes open and consider the weather conditions which may change quickly, especially in the summer.

If a serious accident occurs,  dial 118 (Ambulance), 115  (Fire Brigade) or 1515 (Forest Corps).

Respect the environment

The environment is in danger: Avoid anything that may harm it, even noise. Don’t leave trash of any kind , nor pluck flowers or disturb animals. No fires, please. Respect private property and the rules for chestnut and  mushroom picking.
