Important information for dog owners

Naturschutzgebiet Donauleiten, HundePlease keep your dog on a leash when hiking through the Donauleiten. Since dogs have a natural hunting instinct, there is a risk that wild animals will be disturbed. To protect the valuable fauna, this should be avoided at all costs. There is also a risk that your dogs could suffer serious, possibly life-threatening damage if they come into contact with the fire salamanders that are common in the area.

Haus am Strom accepts no liability for accidents or damage occurring during a hike advertised by us!

Please check with Haus am Strom or the relevant municipality for up-to-date information on the condition and passability of the trails. Trail closures are common during storms!

Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that you will actually see the animal and plant species described in the pictures and text. For more information, please contact the area management at Haus am Strom!
