• Camping – it is allowed to set up a tent for up to 24 hours in an appropriate location not in the vicinity of a residential house. If a larger group plan to set up camp they need permission from the land owner. Leave the place looking as if you had not been there. You may not set up camp on beaches or similar public places.

• Lighting fire- the law is rigorous when it comes to lighting fires. You are only allowed to light a fire if there is no risk of causing a forest fire or other damage. Never light a fire during a draught or in windy weather conditions. You can phone 054-15 50 15 (answering service) to get up-to-date information on possible fire hazards. Be sure to put out your fire thoroughly! A limited amount of firewood may be collected in the forest near the fire place.

• Swimming and the mooring of boats and canoes is allowed unless the property is private or if there are special ordinances, such as concerning bird sanctuaries.

• Canoeing on other people’s waterways is almost always permitted. Leave no remains in the form of litter, campfires or shelters. Take all trash with you, and dig holes to cover faeces and toilet paper.

• You may pick wild berries, mushrooms, fallen-down branches and twigs, as well as flowers that are not endangered. However, you may NOT take branches, twigs, bark, leaves, nuts or resin from living trees or bushes.

To be able to fish in our lakes and waterways a fishing permit is required, which can be bought at Sandvikengården.
