Yellow fingerposts showing the Adlerweg are found at almost every path junction

Between fingerposts, the path is identified by the use of red and white paint flashes on convenient surfaces such as rocks, trees, walls and buildings. These provide waymarking over difficult ground and are essential through forests, across scree and in open pasture where the path may sometimes be indistinct. Occasionally small cairns mark the route, but in misty conditions, paint flashes are considerably more visible. On some stages, where the Adlerweg uses another established path such as Wilder Kaiser Steig in Stage 2, other coloured paint flashes may be encountered. In Voralberg, Stage 22, yellow/white flashes are used for wanderweg, red/white for roter bergweg, and blue/white for schwarzer bergweg.
