Mountain hiking is an endurance sport coupled with enjoyment of nature and can have a positive effect on body and mind – assuming good physical condition and realistic self-assessment of condition and ability. Time pressure and excessive speed are counterproductive! Furthermore, preparation is everything! Therefore, below we have summarised for you the most important tips for safe movement in the mountains of the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut. Tips ranging from "what do I do when I'm in distress on the mountain" to "how do I behave properly with grazing livestock on pastures".
