Did you know

... that you are free to roam the countryside in Norway?

Everyone in Norway has a right of access to the countryside, originally a traditional right but now enforced with legislation. However, it is important to remember that this right is based on respect for the countryside and that visitors must always show consideration for farmers and landowners, other users and the environment.

Other topic-related information including laws, regulations and online services exist, but with limited English texts or in Norwegian only. If you would like to view information in Norwegian, click on the Bokmål, or Nynorsk, menu choice in the top banner above.
