Please note: A connecting route has been signposted between the municipalities of Sulzbachtal and Olsbrücken. The arrow signposts with a yellow tip mark the path between the centre of Sulzbachtal (village fountain) and the hiking station in Olsbrücken.

For our hiking routes, we recommend the following equipment as standard:

- sturdy footwear

- weather-appropriate clothing

- sun and rain protection

- sufficient supply of food and drinks, as there are not always places to eat or shop everywhere or they may be closed.

- Even though the paths are very well signposted throughout, it is advisable for safety reasons to always carry a suitable

   hiking map so that, for example in the event of a thunderstorm or emergency, you can quickly find a safe area.

- Hiking poles recommended.

General information:

Especially in autumn, care must be taken that fallen leaves on the ground can cover unevenness, roots, stones or holes in the path. After thunderstorms or heavy rain, trees can still fall or branches can fall afterwards. Especially in adverse weather conditions, natural paths can have muddy and slippery sections. Not all rocks or cliffs are secured with ropes or railings. Surefootedness is sometimes required. You must expect such path impairments when going on a hike. If you think certain sections are not passable for you, you should avoid them.

NOTE:

We strive to announce all closures caused by forestry work or hunting associations on this platform. Nevertheless, there are situations where hiking trails are closed and we may not have been informed. If you unexpectedly encounter a closure or detour, please follow the instructions for your own safety.
