Safety
Pilane is an 8-hectare natural and cultural landscape — a living landscape with rocks and valleys, ancient historical remains dating back thousands of years, and contemporary artworks. Please note that you enter the area at your own risk and that adult visitors are responsible for accompanying children. Be especially cautious if you leave the prepared paths, stairs, and boardwalks.
Please also note that it is not permitted to climb on the artworks or on gates, railings, and fences surrounding the area.

Accessibility
If you have difficulty walking or moving in hilly terrain, you can still experience much of Pilane by staying on the constructed paths. In the central part of Pilane, it is also easier to get around. If you are unsure, please consult our entrance staff.

Dogs
Dogs can also be art lovers, and you are very welcome to bring your dog to Pilane as long as it is kept on a leash. Please bring your own dog waste bags and dispose of them in the bins at the entrance — not in the nature or in the toilets.

Nature conservation
Pilane is one of Sweden’s most beautifully located ancient monument areas, with high natural and cultural values. Please help us protect the area by not picking flowers or plants and by leaving paths, stones, and ground as they are.

Café & Picnic
At the entrance there is an outdoor café serving pastries, coffee, beverages, and ice cream. Food or drinks may not be brought into the café area, but within the exhibition area there are many beautiful spots where you may enjoy your own picnic.
Do not feed the grazing animals, and remember to take any leftovers and litter with you and dispose of them in the bins at the entrance.

Fire ban
A strict fire ban applies throughout the entire Pilane area as well as in the parking areas outside the site. Grilling, camping stoves, or open fires are not permitted.

Camping
Pilane is open for day visits only. Camping, pitching tents, or staying overnight in the area or in the parking lot is not allowed.

Toilets
Portable toilets are available at the parking area.
