"the Right of Public Access"
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.
Sweden’s natural wonders; Swedish Lapland, the Swedish mountains, coastlines and archipelagos are waiting for you to come and discover them.
So come to Sweden and claim your right to enjoy the sights and sounds of Sweden’s great outdoors.
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.
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sums up the Right of Public Access in the phrase ‘Don’t disturb – Don’t destroy.’
