As the good weather arrives, more and more people visit the forests and fields. Nature is for everyone, but the written and unwritten rules must always be respected! Irresponsible behaviour can seriously endanger fauna and flora, wildlife or even the rational and planned management of game. For this reason, the Conservation Association, as the representative body of wildlife management organisations, and our Tourist Office ask the following of our visitors:
Do not deviate from the marked tourist routes, dirt roads! In the thick of the traffic, they can distract game, which may cross roads as they flee, increasing the risk of road accidents.
In addition, if you encounter a wild boar, you may become entangled with a sow that is fiercely protective of her piglets, which can lead to serious injuries.
As these are the weeks when the young of the deer are born, we can meet them too. However, you must not approach or touch the calves and gids under any circumstances! The smell of man will cause their mothers to stop caring for them and they will die. They are not orphaned, only the deer stag or doe will run away if they feel threatened, and the young ones will be "laid" so that they will blend in: https://vadaszativedegylet.hu/hirek/ne-nyuljunk-a-szarvasfelek-kicsinyeihez .)
Start your excursions no earlier than one hour after sunrise and finish no later than one hour before sunset! This avoids any overlap between the nature and hunting seasons at this time of year and allows game management and hunting activities to continue uninterrupted in the area.
Keep the noise down, do not disturb the animals!
It is extremely important that dogs are only walked on a lead! Apart from being an offence, the dog can cause serious damage to protected and huntable species, and can also pose a threat: the aforementioned feral sow or even legally set traps. In some cases, hunters are also entitled to put down the dog in order to protect the game. (Watch a video about the problem of loose dogs here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=478244093492951 .)
Motor sports are not allowed in natural areas for nature and wildlife conservation reasons, including motorbikes, quad bikes and off-road vehicles: https://vadaszativedegylet.hu/hirek/talaljunk-kozos-utat-a-termeszetben-uzott-motorsporthoz .)
The rapeseed land is agricultural land. Anyone who wanders in for a photo might not even think about the serious damage it could do to the farmer who planted it.
Let's appreciate the work of farmers!
Thank you for your contribution to the protection and tranquillity of Hungarian flora and fauna as a responsible nature hiker!
