There are also special regulations for riding in public spaces. For example, riding in the forest is only allowed on designated bridle paths. Riding on bike and hiking trails is strictly prohibited. Riding in nature reserves is mostly prohibited, but there are many exceptions to this prohibition, but these only apply to designated areas and bridle paths. Furthermore, riders need a riding license plate with a valid annual badge, which must be applied for by the keeper of the horse at the lower landscape authority of his place of residence.
