Norwegian law dictates that the use of nature is a common good that should be available for everyone. The common law gives travellers and users permission to use nature, no matter who owns the land. The right applies to everyone, both permanent residents and tourists. You can, among other things, go hiking, camping, fishing in lakes, pick berries and mushrooms. It is important to show extra consideration when there are many participants and travellers. It is also important that any transport, stay or harvesting does not affect landowners or residents. The right to use nature also applies to open fields. However, on private land it is important that we stay away from houses and cabins. Lastly, it is allowed to traverse over cultivated land in winter when the ground is frozen or covered in snow.
