Respect the tranquility of the area where you are walking; avoid shouting and do not use musical instruments or loud devices (radios, etc.), out of consideration for other visitors and to preserve the peace of the wildlife, especially during breeding and hibernation seasons when animals are much more vulnerable.
Avoid picking wild plants: some of them are protected.
Part of the route is heavily exposed to the sun; bring the necessary supplies (water, hat, sunscreen, etc.) for hot summer days. It is best to set out early in the morning to avoid the hottest part of the day.


WARNING: On this route, you may encounter guard dogs tasked with defending herds against wolf attacks.
To minimize the risk of conflict, bringing pets is strongly discouraged, even if they are on a leash.
Cyclists, please be especially vigilant: upon seeing a herd, you must get off your bike, stop, and allow the dogs to identify you. Then, go around the herd well, keeping your bike between you and the guard dog.
In any case, stay calm, avoid sudden movements, and do not attempt to cross through the herd.

FIRE HAZARD. Fire is the enemy of the forest... and of hikers! Do not smoke in the forest or light fires—especially since it is prohibited regardless of the season! And during the summer, before setting out on a hike, check the conditions and regulations regarding access to forested areas.
