Stop or I’ll Shoot
When travelling in Norway it is important to know danger signs. This is one of them: FARE SKYTEFELT means ‘shooting range’. These can be found scattered throughout long stretches of land along highways. They are army practice areas. Hang on – bullets can’t read! How do they know to stop before the sign? Heaven forbid you should get stuck on a road with a shooting range on both sides!

but indeed, don’t walk into those areas, whereas you might find yourself in between “ilden og veden”
