Game: The Right to Public Access

2019-05-28

Are you allowed to put up your tent and camp anywhere you like? Can you pick berries wherever you can spot them? The Right to Public Access gives us many rights and obligations in nature, which we may not always be aware of. Try our game and test your knowledge! Available in English, Somali and Arabic.

Anyone who wants to explore nature in Sweden needs to know about the Right to Public Access. It is a tradition with roots dating back hundreds of years. Today, the universal right is so important that it is mentioned in the Swedish Constitution. But there is no law regulating what you can and cannot do. Instead, we can see it as an agreement on how to behave in nature.

With such a unique benefit, there is of course plenty to learn about it. For example, are you allowed to put up a tent in someone's horseyard? Or pick berries on someone else's land in order to sell it at the local market?

The Right of Public Access Game has been produced by Friluftsfrämjandet in collaboration with NGOs Studiefrämjandet and Sverok, with financial support from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Naturvårdsverket.
