Nature, the most fun playground!

Welcome to nature!

In nature, we all have a chance to discover and explore. Thanks to the right of public access, we can go on adventures in the woods and fields, kayak or maybe set up a tent and sleep under the stars. But we must also think about taking care of our beautiful nature and showing respect for both animals and people. Remember the rule "Do not disturb - do not destroy!" and we can continue to enjoy all the exciting and beautiful that nature has to offer.

Being out in nature is fantastic for both body and soul. There is so much to discover and explore, and it's extra fun when you're with friends and family.

Imagine that you are walking through the forest and suddenly you see a fox sneaking past. Or that you find a hidden lake where you can swim and play. Or that you climb a mountain top and have a fantastic view of the surroundings. All this and much more you can experience when you are out in nature!

There are many fun things to do when you are out in nature. You can play games like the hide game or cube, or you can look for treasures hidden in the forest. You can build huts and camp overnight, or you can have a coffee at a cozy barbecue area.

It is also important to take care of nature when we are out playing. We should not litter or destroy the beauty that is around us. We can instead pick up rubbish that others have thrown away and leave nature just as we found it.

We must all help each other to preserve and protect our amazing nature, so that we can enjoy it for a long time. Remember that the right of public access does not always apply everywhere, so it is important to find out what applies to each place.

So take the chance and get out into nature! There is so much to discover and so many fun things to do. And who knows, maybe you'll find something that you've never seen or experienced before.

Let's take care of our nature together!

 

Cycling

Cycling is great fun and you can cycle both on roads and in nature! Remember to avoid wet areas that can be damaged by cycling. Sometimes you can also cycle on jogging tracks and hiking trails, but then you must show consideration for both nature and others who walk or run on the trail.

Hunt & fish

In nature, there are lots of animals to look at and discover, but keep in mind that some animals are protected and that hunting and fishing are not allowed everywhere. Check out the rules for fishing and where to buy a fishing license. If hunting is going on, it is best to be extra careful and quiet so as not to disturb the animals. But it's perfectly okay to be out and experience nature anyway!

Picking flowers, berries & mushrooms

In nature, there are lots of tasty things to pick - berries, mushrooms and flowers! But some flowers are like princesses and need to be left alone, so they must not be picked. And it is also not good to break branches from the trees - they need all their arms in order to live and grow strong and big!

Bring your trash

Keep in mind that all rubbish should be thrown in the bin or taken home. It is not okay to throw cans, plastic or other rubbish into nature. It can harm both us humans and our animal friends. Together we can ensure that our nature remains clean and beautiful!

Dogs

When you are out walking your dog in nature, it is important to take care of the wild animals and their young. This means that your dog must be under full control, usually by having it on a leash. This is especially important in spring and summer when many animals have their young. Let's take care of our four-legged friends and at the same time show respect for nature!

Let's do it...

... Together!

We must take care of the environment together! We can recycle, pick up rubbish, save water and electricity. In this way, we can protect our earth and all the animals that live here.
