Herd protection
The Schafalpen in the Binntal Landscape Park are committed to the coexistence of alpine farming, wildlife and tourism through livestock protection.
With respect and tolerance for the work of the livestock guarding dogs and appropriate behavior, you can avoid unnecessary incidents and make the dogs' work easier.
Here are the most important rules of conduct:
- Stay calm and walk slowly.
- Get off your bike and push it.
- Keep as much distance as possible from the herd.
- If you do not see any guard dogs, draw attention to yourself by speaking loudly.
