Right of public access
The right to public access is something that all swedes care deeply about and is also something quite unique. The purpose and meaning with the right of public access is so everyone will have access to nature in Sweden. What that means is that anyone can move freely on someone else’s land and forest without asking for permission to do so, for an example you can pick both berries and mushrooms in the forest around your rental cabin, and also swim in lakes and hike in the forest. You can go canoeing, surfing, go bike riding, mountain climb and go walking and hiking thanks to the right of public access in Sweden.
However the right of public access also requires consideration and caution, for instance it is not allowed to make campfires everywhere, for example you’re not allowed to make up a fire on rocks and/or cliffs because of the capability for them to crack of the heat from the fire, it’s also not allowed to destroy, litter, break branches off of trees or remove cultivated plants. You’re not allowed to walk across somebody’s lawn or garden and you cannot cross a planted field or plantation. You’re also not allowed to walk too close to someone’s house, if you do you can be charged with unlawful entry.
Fishing in Sweden
Sweden has fantastic opportunities for fishing, with a multitude of lakes and with a long stretch of coast, is what gives the whole of Sweden very good access to fishing. Many cabins are strategically built close to a lake or the ocean, most often it’s the proximity to water or nature that attracts to build a summer house or cabin. You don’t need a fishing license to fish in most lakes, rivers and oceans in Sweden, however some lakes and rivers can have planted fish and in that case a fishing permit may be required.
It’s very popular to fish far out in the wilderness especially in northern Sweden. crab fishing is very popular on the west coast, and is usually a big hit with the kids. Take note that fishing will be prohibited when the fish are spawning. Please contact the home owner or landlord for the cabin that you’re renting, to find out if any fishing permits are required for the lakes and rivers surrounding the area that the cabin is located in.
