Motor vessels may only enter the inner shore zone (0 to 150 metres) to moor or cast off, to anchor or to pass through narrow passages; they must take the shortest route.

When anchoring and taking a sauna, a distance of 50 metres from the shore must also be maintained. For noise reasons, saunas must not be taken in the vicinity of residents.
