Public Access to the Countryside-Allemansrätten
In Sweden everyone is allowed to roam freely through the countryside. This means that you can walk and camp, with certain restrictions, or pick berries and mushrooms on private land, and swim and row boat or canoe on private water. Private gardens are an exception. Other exceptions to this law should be carefully observed. These are for example, the picking of rare and endangered species of flowers or berries, destroying live trees or any part of them, taking birds' nests and eggs etc. Always check what you are allowed to do if you are not sure. Finally, a crucial responsibility that comes with this right is to clean up after you.
