Clarification on dogs and roads

• Dog** : Regulation number 6 does not apply if a person on foot brings a leashed dog provided that the dog is kept with a maximum of 3 meters long physical leash. However, all other dog activities are prohibited even if the dog is kept on a leash or on a line; this means, for example, that track and search training with dogs as well as various forms of dog sledding (dog driving) where dogs are attached to a sled, cart, wagon or bicycle are prohibited within the animal protection area.
• Roads** : A forest road is a constructed road that must be able to handle heavy transportation, in this case the gravel roads in the area that are equipped with a boom at the exits. The more or less grass-covered roads are not counted as forest roads. Sometimes these roads have stones at the exits to the public road that prevent vehicle traffic. The racecourse is also not considered a forest road. Unfortunately, work is underway to clarify this in future decisions.
