New rules for using forests: tourism, horses and dogs
The bill makes it easier to use forests for tourism and recreation. It introduces a general rule that horse riding in forests is allowed, and letting dogs off-leash (except for aggressive breeds) is possible under the owner's control. Municipalities will be able to receive forest land free of charge for tourism, sports, and recreation purposes.
Key points
Horse riding in forests will be generally allowed, and a forester can temporarily restrict it only for important reasons (e.g., forest management).
Letting dogs off-leash in the forest will be allowed, but under the owner's control. The ban on letting dogs off-leash will remain for breeds considered aggressive.
Municipalities will be able to receive land from the State Forests free of charge for building paths, observation towers, and other tourist and recreational infrastructure.
Promotional Forest Complexes will have a statutory tourism objective, which will facilitate the development of trails and infrastructure.
Letting an aggressive breed dog off-leash in the forest or a dog without control will result in a fine or penalty.
