1. Turistické chodníky v Slovenskom raji sú prístupné celoročne. (The hiking trails in Slovak Paradise are accessible all year round.)
2. Prechod roklinami je náročný - potrebná je pevná obuv. (Crossing the gorges is difficult - sturdy shoes are required.)
5. Prechod roklinami je možný len v jednom smere - proti prúdu potoka. (Passing through the ravines is only possible in one direction - against the flow of the stream.)
6. Následkom počasia môžu byť rokliny nepriechodné. (The gorges may be impassable due to the weather.)
10. Hlučné správanie ruší zvieratá a iných návštevníkov. (Noisy behavior disturbs animals and other visitors.)
11. Odpadky do prírody nepatria. (Garbage does not belong in nature.)
13. Oheň je povolený len v turistických centrách. (Fire is allowed only in tourist centers.)
