Accommodation can only take place for up to 2 days at a time in parts of the area, and only as far as capacity allows. In special cases, exemptions from the time limit can be granted for camps/conventions and the like. Such a dispensation can only be granted by the cultural agency.
- Use of travel radios / stereo systems and the like must not occur in such a way as to embarrass the surroundings.
