Safety information

Make sure that the route you choose corresponds to your experience and fitness level. Check the weather forecast in advance.

Running tips:
Start slowly to gradually get your circulation going. Take a short break with stretching exercises after about 10 minutes. Vary the pace to increase performance gain. Avoid overexertion, especially on steep sections — better to walk if your basic fitness is not sufficient. Include warm-up and cool-down phases. Let your run wind down and avoid stretching too hard afterwards!
