      Unless we are drunk, or "dritings" as the norwegian term goes. But thats kind of a nordic thing, it's the same in Finland and most of Sweden. It's a little bit different in Denmark, but then again, they are drunk most of the time. Iceland I don't know, they are few and far between.

    Fun Fact: I met the Princess of Norway, Märtha Louise when I was a little boy during her book tour; met her in Minneapolis, MN.
    Also, I was a finalist to be a cast member on the “Alt for Norge” tv show for Season 9. It didn’t work out because I’m in college and it’s hard to schedule around that... but who knows... I could always possibly be a future contestant; the directors liked me and have wanted me to keep in touch with them until I graduate.

    There is a funfact about the relationship between Nepal and Norway that should be mentioned. Due to the preservation of the mountains, it's not really allowed to drive heavy machinery up the mountains. Since people (tourists?) want to go to the top of mountains, Sherpas from Nepal are payed to build stairs up various mountains to make it easier to access. The stones are either air lifted with a helicopter, and moved slightly, or carried up. There are a lot of stone stairs that are not made by the sherpas obviously, but it's still a fun fact. So you can come to Norway and just walk a long ass staircase up a mountain.

      Yeah, but no. If the terrain has been man-made (like a large garden, field, pasture or park) then it is private and you can be chased away. But the owner of a forest can not chase you away for simply camping in their forrest. Also you can stay for 2 days without asking.

      Amici Nybråten you have the right to roam, not the right to drive. Either if it is a farm far up a road, an industrial area or a cabin in the woods. Private roads are private and can be locked of. In some cases there are "the right to a road" when a road must go through anoter property to connect to the public road. But that is realestate/property law, not hikers and bikerd law.
