Safety and rules of conduct
Safety in bike parks
Safety first
- The choice of the trail should be adapted to your personal riding ability.
- We recommend checking out the trail and jumps beforehand.
- Only stop on the side of the trail.
- After a crash, clear the trail immediately and secure it.
- Helmets and gloves must be worn.
- In the bike park, the use of a full-face helmet and other protective gear is advisable.
- Avoid staying in the landing areas of jumps.
Coexistence
Life is better together
- Hikers always have right of way.
- Passing should be done at walking pace or by briefly getting off your bike.
- Themed hiking trails are primarily reserved for families.
Nature and the environment
Because we are a part of it
- No shortcuts! Do not leave the marked and signalled trails.
- Keep a sufficient distance from cows and refrain from touching calves.
- Observe the existing markings and signs.
No Shortcuts
We do not tolerate illegal structures and shortcuts in our biking region. These not only harm nature, but also the entire community. Have you discovered a trail that does not belong there? Report it to us and we will take care of it.
Rules of conduct for livestock guarding dogs
An verschiedenen Orten in der Region Chur werden zum Schutz der Nutztiere Herdenschutzhunde eingesetzt. Diese Tiere erfüllen die Aufgabe, die Herden eigenständig vor potenziellen Gefahren zu bewahren. Für ein sicheres Miteinander von Mensch und Arbeitstier ist die Beachtung spezifischer Verhaltensregeln beim Durchqueren dieser Gebiete erforderlich.
| In the pasture | Information boards indicate the entrance to protected pastures. Visitors are expected to behave calmly around the animals; startling or frightening them is not permitted. Bikes must be pushed across pastureland, which should be crossed on foot at a slow and steady pace. |
|---|---|
| Approach of a barking livestock guard dog | In such a situation, it is important to remain calm in order to give the dog the time it needs to assess the situation. As it is the animal's job to check for potential dangers to the livestock, you should keep a safe distance and refrain from any provocation. Avoid making sudden movements or using sticks. Once the livestock guarding dog has calmed down, you can continue on your way, giving the livestock a wide berth. Feeding or petting the livestock or the dog is not permitted. |
| Have your own dog with you | Dogs trigger increased defensive behaviour in livestock guardian dogs. Dogs must therefore be kept on a leash and under control. It is not advisable to walk through a protected herd with a dog; instead, keep a sufficient distance from it. If in doubt, turn back. If livestock guarding dogs attack a dog on a leash, let go of the dog. In general, it is not advisable to take dogs with you when hiking in areas with livestock guarding dogs. |
| Feeling threatened by a livestock guard dog | Avoid direct eye contact with the dog, but do not turn your back on it. If the livestock guard dog does not calm down after a prolonged period of time, retreat with calm movements. |
Interaction with wolves
Der Wolfsbestand in der Schweiz wächst kontinuierlich. Grundsätzlich sind Wölfe nicht gefährlich für dich. Eine direkte Begegnung kommt selten vor. Dennoch sollten Sie einige Verhaltenstipps beachten.
| Are wolves dangerous? | According to global findings, wolves living in the wild are not fundamentally dangerous to humans and avoid direct contact. However, risks arise when animals become accustomed to the presence of humans or associate them with food, which can lead to begging behaviour. Wolves and pups should not be pursued or harassed for observation or photography purposes; areas around den sites should be avoided in particular. Aggressive behaviour is possible in sick, injured, fed or cornered animals. It should be noted that Switzerland is currently rabies-free. |
|---|---|
| Rules of conduct with wolves - Stay calm | Marked paths and areas must not be left in order to respect the habitats of wild animals. Food waste must not be disposed of in the forest or at barbecue areas, as even the smallest amounts can attract wild animals; wolves must not be allowed to become accustomed to human food sources. Dogs must be kept under control at all times. |
| When you encounter a wolf | Remain calm if you encounter a wolf. Wolves usually retreat as soon as they notice the presence of humans. If the animal does not retreat immediately, you should make yourself heard in a firm voice. A slow retreat is recommended, allowing the wolf to observe the situation or flee immediately. Do not approach the animal, take photographs or follow it. Feeding wolves is not permitted. |
| Spotted a wolf or its tracks? | If you have seen a wolf, please report it to the responsible gamekeeper: https://www.gr.ch/DE/institutionen/verwaltung/diem/ajf/ueberuns/Seiten/Jagdbezirke.aspx |
