Enjoying nature

Two men hiking Photo: Krister Berg/NThe natural world is never far away in Sweden. Enjoy a visit to one of our national parks or nature reserves. Here you can find advice and things you should be aware of when out enjoying Swedish nature. The principle rule of the right of public access is “Don’t disturb – don’t destroy”

Das Jedermannsrecht

Immer, wenn Sie sich in der freien Natur bewegen, wenn Sie wandern, Kajak paddeln, klettern oder auf einem Stein sitzen und nachdenken, nutzen Sie das Jedermannsrecht. Das Jedermannsrecht ist eine einzigartige Möglichkeit!
