The right of public access

Norway and the island of Spitsbergen largely consist of vast stretches of untouched natural wilderness. These natural reserves are to be conserved without placing human contrivances like fences and signs.

In Norway one is free to roam about – unless signs explicitly state otherwise. This right of public access – ‘Allemannsretten’ in Norwegian – allows one to freely hike or camp in nature, e.g. at beaches, in the forest, in the mountains and in other uncultivated areas. In cultivated areas, however, one is not allowed to stay there without permission of the landowner. Cultivated areas are mowing fields, pastures, newly planted forests and any other area where human presence could damage or impede the owner or tenant. In any case, any stay in nature needs to be carefully considered, ensuring that no damage is done to either nature or property. Wildlife and other people staying in the same area also need consideration. Between the 15th of April and the 15th of September,  lighting fires in the countryside is prohibited.

Is it bad weather in Norway

Bad weather does not exist except bad clothes, that’s what the Norwegians say. With us it is quite dry compared to the coastal towns in Norway.

Most foreigners have a wrong picture of the weather in Norway. It can be much warmer in Norway than one would expect at these northern latitudes. In the first place, for this is the Gulf Stream responsibility, which transports heated sea water to the Norwegian coast. Even in winter the harbors remain ice-free. Temperatures can be as much as 25 ° in summer – 30 ° C, even in northern Norway.

What’s the temperature in the summer

The temperature can reach in summer up to 30 degrees, at night it cools down fairly quickly. Average temperatures give a false picture because it is a lot colder at night than during the day. So it can be 24 degrees during the day and temperatures can drop to 7 degrees at night. This is because we are close to the national park at an altitude of 500 meters.
