Encountering Wildlife

When encountering wildlife, the rule is: keep your distance, do not approach, and give animals the space they need for their natural behaviors.

Editorial Wild beim Wild — 26 May 2023

Maintain a safe distance

It is important to wildlife with respect and caution. Always maintain a safe distance and never approach them. Give them the space they need.

Rules for hiking and camping

Familiarise yourself with local regulations. Feeding or hunting wildlife without a permit is illegal. If an animal becomes aggressive, increase your distance and back away slowly. More on the topic of species protection and environment and nature conservation.

You can help all animals and our planet with compassion. Choose compassion on your plate and in your glass. Go vegan.
