| · Allemansrätten: |
(lit. All men's right), the right to roam. The ancient Swedish general public right (and law) to freely enjoy recreation or exercise in the countryside. The law allows you to walk, cycle, horse ride, ski and camp in the countryside, except in private gardens, and immediate vicinity of a dwelling house, as well as on cultivate land. Certain times of the year both fires and dogs are also permitted. You may also visit beaches (with exception of private beaches) and swim in lakes, and put an unpowered boat on any water. However, this right comes with some obligations that can be summarized in the maxima: "Do not disturb, do not destroy". Do not damage crops, woodland or other vulnerable land. Do not disturb livestock while crossing fenced-in pastures. Picking wild flowers, berries and mushroom is allowed provided you know they are not legally protected.
The law does not apply in natural reserves, either to motor vehicles on private roads and parking lots. Fishing is permitted only in the biggest five lakes and along the coast of the Baltic Sea, Öresund, Kattegat and Skagerrak.
