The forest needs respect! Fair play in the forest

For many people the forest is the connection to nature. Many Austrians spend their leisure time in the forests. The forest has many owners and yet everyone is allowed to use it for recreation. The forest allows you to hike, play, run, relax and enjoy the nature and landscape. Of course visitors of the forest are requested to abide to the rules and regulations as stipulated in the forestry laws.

Fair play!
