Other pieces of advice
- While Volksmarch trail is well maintained and easy to hike, be sure to grab a map before you head out. The trees are clearly marked with blazes (colored markings), but it’s easy to move in the wrong direction if you’re paying more attention to wildlife than the route (I did and was).
- It’s probably best to brush up on your outdoor safety knowledge before you jump into this hike, and download the Florida Pocket Ranger or another trailblazing app to keep track of your route (and know where to go if you need to get back to safety).
