CAMILLA JØRVAD
• Stick to the island’s signposted routes. • Take your waste with you. • Do not leave traces of e.g. bonfires. • Stay only at established accommodations. • Observe the rules on the signs you encounter along the way.
Coastline and cliffs The storm surge significantly changed the coastline of Ærø, including slopes and cliffs. Therefore, avoid climbing on the cliffs or walking too close to the edges. Also, do not crawl into sand caves in the cliffs as there is a risk of collapse.
