🚫 Dogs prohibited
Dogs are not permitted on the hiking trail along the Salzach river between the dog training area in Niedernsill and the Hummersdorf bridge. Please use the Tauern Cycle Path as an alternative.
🐄 Meeting grazing animals - please be considerate
During the summer months, many meadows and alpine pastures are used for grazing. Mother cows are especially protective of their calves. Please follow these recommendations 👉 Keep a safe distance from grazing animals. Always keep your dog on a lead.
