- bOnly in July and AugustBare i juli og august
- cFrom 15 April to 15 SeptemberFra 15. april til 15. septemberCorrect answer
Why?
In summer the forest can become dry, and a campfire can easily start a forest fire. That is why, as a main rule, it is forbidden to light a campfire in or near forests and other uncultivated land from 15 April to 15 September, unless the municipality has given permission.
