Fiske Hummeln

Respect and protect our nature

To protect fish stocks in our waters, many anglers nowadays practice Catch & Release, which means releasing the fish, provided they are unharmed. This builds up the population of viable fish. Everyone is responsible for complying with the applicable fishing rules and restrictions and for buying a valid fishing license. Although fishing is not part of the right of public access, you can fish freely with rods and certain other hand-held equipment along the coasts. Read more about the right of public access here.

Things to keep in mind:

• Always find out what rules and laws apply where you want to fish.
• Take your trash home, including lines and hooks.
• Do not disturb plant and animal life.
• Keep your distance from residential buildings, the right of public access does not apply within the exclusion zone.
• The right of public access does not apply to arable land or other land that may be damaged, such as plantations.
• If you travel on water, show consideration by not disturbing the surroundings with unnecessary noise or high waves.
• Camping for a single day is included in the right of public access, but camping for several days or camping in a group with several tents requires permission from the landowner.
