The winter routes in the mountains are generally marked with tree branches, but a few of them have bamboo or plastic poles. The mountain routes are marked only during parts of the winter.
Please note:
In most places, the markings are kept until the snow disappears, but the routes are not maintained after the indicated dates. In a few places, the branches are removed after the last marking date.
The marking process may be delayed or discontinued due to difficult weather conditions.
A route to a cabin may be marked even though the cabin itself is not open. The reason for this is that the route continues to another cabin, which is open.
