Allemansrätt
Sweden’s vast forests, lakes, and rivers make it a paradise for outdoor lovers. Thanks to Allemansrätten, or The Right of Public Access, everyone can freely explore and enjoy nature—whether hiking, camping, or paddling. But with this freedom comes responsibility.
What is Allemansrätten?
Allemansrätten is a unique law that allows people to move freely through nature, even on private land. You can hike, pick berries, camp for a night, and paddle along Sweden’s many waterways. However, you must respect nature, landowners, and other visitors. The key rule is “Don’t disturb, don’t destroy.”
Allemansrätten and Canoeing
When paddling in Sweden, Allemansrätten allows you to explore lakes and rivers, stop for breaks along the shore, and even camp for a night. However, you must avoid private gardens, farmland, and nature reserves with restrictions. Always follow local rules, use designated canoe campsites where possible, and take all trash with you.
