Thanks to the right of public access, everyone can enjoy Sweden’s natural surroundings – regardless of who owns the land. You are free to hike, cycle, paddle, swim and pick berries and mushrooms, amongst other things. With this freedom comes a responsibility to show consideration for nature, wildlife, landowners and other visitors. A good rule of thumb is: do no harm – do no damage.
For more information on the right of public access, please visit the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s website
