The Right to Roam

By law, everyone in Sweden has the right of access to nature which means that they can cross private uncultivated land or camp for one night without needing the owner's permission.

The ancient law grants everybody a right to move freely on foot, horse, skis, bicycle or by boat and is called ‘Allemansrätten’. People have the right to pick most wild flowers or berries and fish along the coast, providing they do not litter or damage the countryside or any of its wildlife. The obligation to respect the integrity of nature and the privacy of others must be fully understood.
