Dear trekking friends, the Forststeig Elbsandstein trekking route has been closed since November 1st in the winter break! All overnight accommodations in the forest (trekking huts and bivouacs) as well as the campsite in Ostrov are closed. Camping on the bivouac spots is not permitted outside of the Forststeig trekking season. The winter break protects nature, because sensitive natural areas and wild birds will not be disturbed, also protects hikers due to the site and weather conditions. During the winter break (November - March), we remove all mobile markings in order to repair and maintain them, we use the forest huts for forestry and hunting operations, and we repair and improve the overnight accommodations. On March 13th, we want to carry out the work on Forststeig with you before the start of the season. You could already note the date in advance. We don't know yet, whether it will work that way or not. Further information will follow at this site. The new Forststeig trekking season begins on April 1, 2022.
