Rules of conduct for bikers
Schladming-Dachstein offers a large network of marked hiking and biking trails. Some of the paths are officially shared, while others are designated only for bikers or only for hikers. To maintain a good coexistence between hikers and bikers, we ask for your consideration and adherence to the code of honor.
For Cyclists:
- Identify yourself early to avoid surprising the hiker.
- Encounters with hikers should occur at walking pace.
- You yield priority to the hiker.
For Hikers:
- You are aware that you generally have priority.
- You do not unnecessarily obstruct the cyclists.
- If there is enough space, you step aside.
Of course, one would prefer to use the paths alone. Since that is often not possible, respectful interaction is important. It is actually not that difficult to greet and smile nicely.
