In the dog woods, you can let the dog run freely, provided that you have full control over the dog. And during the winter season from 1 October to 31 March, it is also allowed on a number of Danish beaches to let the dog loose. However, this does not apply everywhere, so keep an eye on the signs in the area you are visiting.
