Hiking services
The wilderness area of Litokaira is a destination for independent hikers, who will need a wide range of hiking and orientation skills. There are lean-to shelters, open wilderness huts and a birdwatching tower in the nature reserve.
Campsites
- Campfires may be made using branches, twigs and small roots found on the ground, but these must not be gathered within a half kilometre of the designated campfire site. Burning wood from standing deadwood trees is expressly prohibited!
- Before you light a fire, always check if any forest fire warnings are in effect.
- Lighting any campfires is strictly forbidden if the wildfire warning is in effect.
- Firewood is provided at campfire sites. Remember that you may have to chop up the wood yourself. Please use the firewood sparingly.
- Do not burn rubbish or tear off bark from living trees. You can use a small amount of clean paper and cardboard to light your fire.
- The last person to leave the campfire site is always responsible for putting out the fire.
- As campsites are shared resting places, you should show consideration towards other hikers.
- There is no waste management at the campsites, so bring your rubbish home.
Drinking water
- Always boil water from natural sources before drinking it.
- Do not wash dishes or yourself in natural waters or on well covers.
- After use, remember to soak any washing water into the ground far enough away from natural waters or water supply points.
Toilets
- Remember to bring your own toilet paper.
Waste disposal
- Take your rubbish home, do not burn it.
- Remember to bring some rubbish bags when you go out.
- Do not throw food waste out in the forest.
