Riding law

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under Reit law the legal basis of the will usually riding and driving understood in the great outdoors. The right to ride is part of the right to enter .

Germany

The right to ride is part of the area of protection of Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Basic Law (GG) in terms of general freedom of action , but not part of the specially protected core area of ​​private life . The right to ride is therefore only granted within the framework of the constitutional legal system and can be restricted by law.

For participation in road traffic, riding and horse-drawn driving on public roads is generally permitted. The rules of road traffic law apply to riders and drivers .

In the Federal Republic of Germany, general riding law in the forest is regulated by the Federal Forest Act (BWaldG), while riding outside of the forest is regulated exclusively by the federal states ( Section 57 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act ). For riding in the forest, § 14 BWaldG is particularly important, which basically only allows riding on roads and paths ( § 14 para. 1 sentence 1 BWaldG). In Section 14 (2) BWaldG, the federal states are granted the right to regulate the details of this. In this respect, it is a federal framework law . It is permissible that the right to ride in forests is limited by state law to designated bridle paths .

Legal rules in Germany

Use of public roads and roads is regulated by the StVO . The blue sign below shows a special path on which only riding is allowed. The prohibition sign is made up of the sign 250 and the symbol " rider " listed in Section 39 (7) of the StVO . In managed forests, national regulations and simplified signage apply. The unpaved summer paths along paved roads are also suitable for riding in the countryside .

  • Bridle path (sign 238)

  • Riding ban (sign 250 + symbol)

  • Danger sign rider

  • Riding permit on forest path

State legal rules

In the fields and in the forest, national laws apply, which differ considerably from one another.

Forest is any area covered with forest trees. which, due to its size and tree density, has a natural balance with its own internal climate. 2 After initial afforestation or if at least knee-high forest trees have developed from natural seeding, forest is present when the area is likely to reach the same state also cleared or cleared areas, forest paths, aisles, forest dividing and safety strips, forest bare areas, clearings, forest meadows, deforestation areas connected with the forest and serving it, wood storage areas and other areas connected to the forest and serving its management or visitors such as parking lots , Playgrounds and sunbathing lawns as well as moors, heaths, bodies of water and other unused lands that are related to forests and are natural components of the forest landscape. Forest is considered to be forest in the sense of the forest tree nurseries and parks with forest trees, which are mainly intended for the forest owners' own needs. Forest areas do not lose their legal status as forest if they have been damaged by windthrow or fire, cleared, cleared or illegally converted into areas with a different type of use. Forests are not smaller areas in the rest of the open landscape that are only planted with individual groups of trees, rows of trees or with hedges, courtyard trees, areas on which forest trees are planted with the aim of early wood removal (short rotation plantations), Christmas tree cultures, ornamental brushwood cultures.)

They are to be identified by the person who owns the forest. Driveways are considered to be safe to walk on if they can be ridden or driven on by horses and if the expected intensity of use is not likely to cause damage to them.

Thuringia

Riding is regulated in the law on conservation, protection and management of the forest and the promotion of forestry (Thuringian Forest Act - ThürWaldG) of August 6, 1993.

In § 6 on entering the forest, sporting activity in forests, it is stipulated that everyone is generally permitted to enter the forest for the purpose of nature-friendly recreation. Entering and driving in the forest is at your own risk, special due diligence and traffic safety obligations of the forest owner are not justified by the right to enter the forest. This also applies to marked paths and trails.

Every visitor to the forest must behave in such a way that the forest is not damaged or contaminated, its management and the community are not disturbed and the recreation of others is not impaired. Dogs that are not used for hunting must be kept on a leash.

Riding is permitted on marked paths and roads. Sufficient suitable and, if possible, connected paths and roads should therefore be marked as bridle paths, which also have a connection with paths and roads outside the forest. The marking is carried out by the lower forest authority after hearing the local interest groups of forest owners and forest users, in particular riders, cyclists, hikers, skiers, hunters and local authorities.

Driving with carriages is permitted on paved paths and roads that are marked as bridle paths. In the forest, riding horses and carriage horses must each have a visible label attached to their head on both sides.

In agreement with the forest owner, the lower forest authority can restrict non-public paths and roads to individual types of use in order to protect forest visitors for nature conservation reasons and to protect the interests of forest owners.

The implementation of organized sporting events in the forest requires the approval of the lower forest authority. As far as nature conservation concerns are concerned, this approval is given in agreement with the lower nature conservation authority.

The following are excluded from entering: 1. Regeneration areas, plant gardens, cultivated and not yet harvested land, 2. Forest areas and forest paths on which wood is felled, processed, stored or moved or on which other forest work is carried out, 3. Forest areas and forest paths that for other compelling reasons, for example to prevent forest fires or for reasons of safety in breakage and litter-damaged stands are closed by the forest authorities or with their approval by the forest owner, 4. forestry and hunting facilities.

Entry into the forest can be denied by blocking it if this is necessary for reasons of forest protection (especially the risk of forest fire), nature conservation, forest and game management, the protection of forest visitors or the avoidance of forest damage. The closure may only take place by order or with the approval of the lower forest authority. Closures for nature conservation reasons take place in agreement with the lower nature conservation authority. The blocking must be made clearly visible. The reason for the blockage is to be stated on an attached sign. In the case of temporary blocking, the deadline must be stated. After this period has expired, the blocking devices must be removed.

The supreme forest authority regulates the details of entering the forest and exercising, including the processing and use of personal data in connection with the issuing of license plates for riding and carriage horses. the regulations for the chargeable issue of the license plates by the lower forest authority as well as the expenses for the uniformly marked hiking trail network must be mutually agreed between the highest forest authority and the ministry responsible for finances. Regulations on the largely nationally uniform marking of cross-country ski trails and ski hiking trails as well as cycle and hiking trails are issued in agreement with the highest nature conservation authority.

Legal rules in Switzerland

In Switzerland, riding and driving are equated in road traffic. Consequently, there is no riding ban , but there is a ban on animals (signal no. 2.12, "three-legged horse on beam"). The "ban on animals" prohibits the movement of draft, riding and pack animals as well as the drive of cattle. Nevertheless, one sometimes comes across a "riding ban signal", which then i. d. Usually has the same symbol as the riding path signal. Such fantasy signals are legally ineffective.

The riding trail signal obliges riders and people who lead horses by the hand to use the trail marked in this way. Other participants are not allowed on bridle paths.

  • Bridle path (signal 2.62)

  • Ban on animals (signal 2.12). There is no “riding ban” in Switzerland
