 Allemansrätten
Swedish Right of Public Access
What is Swedish Right of Public Access?
Swedish Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten) is when you are in Sweden
you have the right to walk, cycle, ride, ski and camp on any land with the
exception of private gardens, near a dwelling house or land under cultivation. We
call it the Freedom to Roam.

The Right of Public Access is a unique right to roam freely in the countryside. But
with this right come responsibilities – to take care of nature and wildlife and to
show consideration for landowners and for other people enjoying the countryside.
‘Don’t disturb – Don’t destroy. ’ (Inte störa – inte förstöra)
What is Freedom to Roam?

The freedom to roam is the principle, protected by the law, that gives all
people the right to roam free in nature. Sleep on mountaintops, by the
lakes, in quiet forests or beautiful meadows. Take a kayak out for a spin
or experience the wildlife firsthand. Pick berries and mushrooms and
flowers from the ground – all completely free of charge. The only thing
you have to pay, is respect for nature and the animals living there
Rights and responsibilities that you have according to Allemansrätten

● You are allowed to access any land, except private residences, the immediate vicinity
(70 meters) of a dwelling house and cultivated land.
● You can put up a tent, and anything more than 3 tents you need permission from the
land owner.
● You are allowed to collect flowers, mushrooms and berries.
● Driving/ parking on nature is not allowed.
● Swimming in lakes is allowed.
● You can access any beach as long as you stay away from private residences.
● You are allowed to catch fish in the five big lakes and along the entire coastline.
● Between 1 March and 20 August dogs are not permitted to run free in the countryside.
