Sweden's Right of Public Access

This lesson is built on the article about allemansratten, the Swedish rule that lets people walk, camp and pick berries on land that belongs to somebody else. By the end you can explain the rule and argue about whether it would survive in your own country.

• Explain in your own words what allemansratten permits, and the four or five places where it stops.
• Use roam, privately owned, cultivated, disturb and responsibility when you talk about land and who may use it.
• State the rule the way Swedes summarise it, and give one example of breaking each half of it.
• Argue for or against the same right in your own country, with a reason a landowner would accept.
