Allemannsretten: Norway's Right to Roam Explained

Norway's Allemannsretten, codified in the 1957 Outdoor Recreation Act, allows camping on uncultivated land (utmark) for free without permission, provided tents are at least 150 metres from houses and not on cultivated or private land (innmark). Stays are limited to two nights in lowlands, longer in remote areas, and local restrictions may apply. Violations typically result in a polite request to move, but fines can occur for littering or ignoring rules.
