Accessibility
Folly Art Norg aims to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone. While the walking route is central to the event, we have made several adjustments for visitors with limited mobility or those traveling by bike:
- The sandy roads and narrow paths may pose challenges for wheelchair users. Shorter alternative routes are indicated on the map.
- Cycling is permitted, but some paths require you to dismount and walk. Our route map includes special markings for cyclists.
- Our volunteers are available to assist with route directions or advice on accessibility options.
