Animals
Dogs must be kept on a leash in built-up areas. A built-up area is a densely built area indicated by traffic signs. Within built-up areas there can, however, be areas which are not densely built.
Dog and cat owners must also see to it that their pets are not allowed on public beaches, in children's playgrounds, market squares when the market is open, sport fields or public ski tracks. Dogs and cats are allowed in running tracks if kept on a leash.
The dog owner or the person in whose possession the dog is must see to it that the dog's faeces are not left in well maintained places. Under the Act, these include places with mowed lawn, plants or paved roads.
It is forbidden to ride a horse and to drive a horse-drawn or a similar vehicle on footpaths and public ski tracks unless otherwise indicated.
