In addition to what applies under other legislation, it is forbidden to:

• Damage living or dead standing or lying trees and bushes,
• damaging, picking or collecting plants. However, picking berries, edible mushrooms and individual specimens of vascular plants is permitted provided that the species are not protected,
• use traps that catch and/or kill invertebrates without the permission of the county administrative board
• planting/introducing species alien to the area,
• organize camps or competitions without the permission of the county administrative board
• set up or park a caravan or motorhome in the reserve between 24:00 and 06:00,
• make fires,
• put up a board, poster, sign or make an inscription,
• drive a motorized vehicle other than on a road or park other than in a designated place,
• bring an unleashed dog, and
• without the permission of the county administrative board, conduct scientific research that contravenes the regulations.
