Also, be aware of the national fire ban in forests and uncultivated land from April 15 to September 15. During this period, open fires and disposable grills are not allowed, unless it is absolutely clear that no fire risk exists.

By respecting these guidelines, you help preserve Siljan’s natural beauty and ensure safe, enjoyable hikes for future generations.
