A few tips on correct and fair behaviour in the forest:

- Camping and making fires is strictly forbidden in the forest!
- In principle, every person in the forest is allowed to collect 2kg of mushrooms and berries per day for their own use. It is only prohibited if the forest owner expressly forbids it.
