TAKE YOUR RUBBISH BACK HOME WITH YOU Pack a bin bag in every backpack! A snack outdoors is simply part of the experience. Important: Be sure to take any packaging and rubbish back home with you. Do not dispose of tissues and cigarette butts in nature.

RESPECT NATURE We are guests in nature! When hiking and cycling, please keep to the paths, and your dogs on a leash. Treat grazing and wild animals with respect and keep your distance, do not feed them. Only pick plants, mushrooms and berries to the extent permitted.

CARINTHIAN DRINKING WATER Free of charge and yet priceless! The finest and cleanest drinking water flows from our taps. Natural, healthy and crystal clear. Fill up your drinking bottle with tap water – this avoids many a disposable bottle!
