The tour
OVER THE THREE-COUNTRY CORNER. Somewhat hidden from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, you stroll along leisurely in the beginning before the tour increases in altitude and leads you up to the Gatschberg. Enjoy the silence of the forest and feel especially connected to nature.

Security
- Plan your trip in advance, taking into account walking time, distance, elevation gain, hazards, and weather reports.
- Let others know where you are going and when you want to be back.
- Turn back in good time if the weather deteriorates. If you are caught in a thunderstorm, stay away from free-standing trees and wait out the storm, crouching if possible.
- Stay on marked trails and remember to close pasture fences.
- If you are a dog owner: Clarify before the hike if you need to cross a pasture. Keep your dog on a leash and make sure it stays calm. If a cow attacks, let the dog off the leash immediately. Never pick him up to defend him.
