Respect nature
Holiday destination, agricultural area and cultural landscape – the Alpine pastures of Saalfelden and Leogang are all rolled into one. To enjoy a carefree time in the mountains, it’s important to respect the local nature and animals.
That’s why we ask you to keep in mind the following ten rules on how to behave around grazing cattle:
Most importantly: Keep a safety distance to the animals and do not feed them!
Keep calm and don’t scare the animals!
The mother cows protect their young. Help them do that by keeping away your dogs!
Keep in mind that dogs have to be leashed at all times, except in case of an attack. In this case, remove the lead immediately!
Keep to the marked trails to be safe!
If a cow crosses your way, wait until it has left the trail or give it a wide berth!
Don’t panic if animals approach you! Simply step out of their way without turning your back to them.
If there’s an unsettled atmosphere, swiftly leave the animals’ grazing area.
Respect closed-off areas and always close gates behind you.
Treat nature, animals and working people with respect.
