FREEDOM TO ROAM




                   Norway's right to roam policy allows us to explore and camp in
                   nature almost anywhere we want. It's important to understand
                   the regulations and responsibilities that come with this law. You
                   can  hike  and  camp  freely  as  long  as  you  pitch  your  tent  150

                   meters away from the nearest inhabited structure for no more
                   than two consecutive days. When sleeping in your car, park in
                   designated  areas  and  avoid  burdening  the  environment  or
                   wildlife.



                   In  2021,  some  areas,  including  parts  of  Haukland  Beach  and
                   Reinebringen in Lofoten, were restricted due to environmental
                   damage caused by high pressure.


























                   "'Open  country'  refers  to  unfenced  and  publicly-owned  land  where  people  can  enjoy
                   outdoor  activities  without  seeking  permission.  In  Norway  and  many  other  countries,  the
                   right  to  roam  freely  comes  with  certain  responsibilities,  including  respecting  the
                   environment and wildlife, leaving no trace, and avoiding damage to the land.


                   "Fenced land" refers to privately owned areas enclosed by a fence or boundary. Access is
                   restricted, and permission from the landowner is required. Public access may be allowed
                   for specific purposes, but only with permission.
