HOLIDAY WITH DOG in Viehhofen

Spend your holiday with your dog in Viehhofen

Endless hiking trails past alpine meadows and refreshing mountain streams are waiting to be discovered by two- and four-legged friends.

However, it is important to adhere to a few guidelines to ensure harmonious coexistence.

Leads are compulsory throughout Viehhofen and most of the neighbouring villages. As our 4-legged friend sometimes need to relieve itself when out and about, there are 13 dog stations within Viehhofen. You will find these marked on the map below. Please take care to dispose of dog faeces properly.

Why should the dog faeces bag be put in the rubbish bin?
Dog faeces contain bacteria that make the farmers' hay unusable, and cows can even become ill if there is dog faeces in the hay. What's more, such droppings are an unsightly souvenir on the soles of your shoes.

Let's take care of our nature together so that we can enjoy it for a long time to come.

USE OF MOUNTAIN RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT WITH your DOG

Of course, dogs are allowed to use public transport or accompany you on a trip on the cable car. Both a muzzle and a lead are required, no matter how small or large your dog is.

BEHAVIOUR TIPS WITH ALPINE CATTLE

At your hiking tours, you and your dog can often come into contact with cows grazing on alpine meadows. Play it safe with our behavioural tips:

Always keep calm when encountering animals and don't run away.
If you see herds of any kind, shorten the lead.
Try to go around the herd with your dog in a wide arc and never cross it.
Always refrain from wild gesticulation and shouting.
Put as much space as possible between you and the herd, but without rushing.
If necessary, walk backwards and maintain visual contact.
