In the state-owned part of Rold Skov forest, many of the forest tracks are in such good condition that they can are suitable for wheelchairs, though there is no guarantee. A path has been established around the St. Økssø lake for wheelchair users. There are also fishing sites here for wheelchair users
Show consideration - using the countryside
Many people use the countryside - and for vastly different things. Therefore, a set of rules for the countryside have been prepared. The rules have been drawn up to make a trip to the countryside enjoyable for as many people as possible. Remember that the rules apply primarily for the state-owned part of Rold Skov forest. If you want to go to the privately owned parts of the forest, other rules apply.
Rules of the countryside
By bike
You can ride your bike on all the paths and forest tracks but not on the forest floor and down steep slopes or on stone dykes and grave mounds.

Horse-back riding
Horse-back riding is free all over the northern part of the state-owned Rold Skov, except for on grave mounds and other prehistoric monuments In the southern part of the forest, south of the line from the Mosskovgård manor house in the east to Mørkehus in the west (1.5 kilometres south of Rold Storkro), riding is only permitted on marked bridleways (marked with a yellow horseshoe).
Taking your dog to the forest
In general dogs must be kept on a leash in the forest. If you let your dog run loose, the Police will be notified. You can let you dog run free in special off-leash dog parks - provided your dog has been trained to come when called.
