Utö

To protect the Utö nature reserve, there are rules you must follow. In the reserve it is forbidden to:

• destroy or damage any fixed natural object or surface formation
• dig up flowers or deliberately damage ground vegetation (grass, moss or lichen cover)
• deliberately disturbing wildlife (e.g. by climbing trees or taking close-up photographs of birds' nests, roosts, burrows or similar)
• within the entire reserve, with the exception of Persholmen, bring dogs that are not leashed. For Persholmen, dogs must be leashed during the period March 1 - August 20 and during the rest of the time kept under supervision
• camp or set up a caravan other than in the designated place.
• moor or anchor a boat on the same beach for longer than two days in such a way that the possibility for others to use a valuable boat or bathing area is hindered or made difficult
• sail or moor a boat in bathing areas specifically marked with buoys
• light fires other than in designated areas prepared for this purpose
• use a radio, gramophone, tape recorder or similar in a way that disturbs others
• ride or drive motorized vehicles other than on designated paths and roads
• park motor vehicles other than in designated and equipped places.
