"Together Nature experience"

is the principle of nature recreation in the forests of the Sauerland.

We are pleased that you have decided to visit one of the largest contiguous forest areas in our country.

We, the partners Sauerländischer Gebirgsverein e.V., Landesbetrieb Wald und Holz NRW, Sauerland-Radwelt e.V., Wisent-Welt-Wittgenstein e.V., Sauerland-Tourismus e.V., Touristikverband Siegerland-Wittgenstein e.V., Waldbauernverband NRW e. V., as well as the nature parks Sauerland-Rothaargebirge, Arnsberg Wald and Diemelsee stand up for a considerate coexistence of all nature users. We pursue the common goal of making the experience of nature in the Sauerland and Siegerland-Wittgenstein low-conflict and without limiting its quality. In addition, we are committed to sensitizing people in nature to property rights in the forest and to nature conservation.

To achieve this goal, it is important that all nature users behave appropriately towards nature and other people. We therefore ask you to observe the following rules of conduct in the forests of the Sauerland:

1. stay on the paths intended for you

2. behave with foresight and in a way that is appropriate to the route and the conditions.

3. adjust your speed so that you can react at any time.

4. make yourself known in a friendly and timely manner.

5. let other nature users pass without danger.

6. the forest also belongs to someone! Observe barriers and follow instructions. 7.

7. use the paths responsibly.

Avoid the forest at dusk and dawn. 9.

9. protect animals and plants and behave appropriately.

10. take your trash back with you.

11. keep dogs on the trails or on a leash (except in dangerous situations).

In nature, you will always find small clues about togetherness in the Sauerland. These are often placed at the starting points of hiking and mountain bike tours or at narrow and blind spots.
