All use of open fire is forbidden in or near forests and other outlying areas from 15 April to 15 September. This applies to bonfires, grills, fire pits, camp stoves and any other type of open fire.
Public campfire sites
There are public campfire sites in the forests and on the islands, which can be used all year.
Dry periods
After long periods of dry weather, you should take extra precautions, as the risk of forest fires will be high. Grass, shrubs and trees are extremely dry, they catch on fire easily, and a wildfire could spread very quickly, so be careful with cigarette stubs etc.
The tap water in Norway is of excellent quality. You can drink tap water from anywhere as long as nothing else is stated.
Bottled water can be bought in supermarkets, kiosks, gas stations and delis.
