In Sweden we are very circumspect about Allemansrätten - we are afraid that we could lose it, and then life would be more like in Germany or Denmark, with all the signs of "no trespassing" everywhere. Here we can cross fences and all, but of course there can be a bull behind a fence, and you cannot let it free, by leaving a gate open. Leave 200 meters to a house, to be on the sure side. It is considered polite to ask for permission if you want to put up a tent on private property, and it is not considered polite to go swimming at the shore of a lake near a house or its sauna or mooring place, just go further away. A sign "privat väg" means that it is not kept in order by the municipality or the region, so you can't expect high maintenance, it is what it is, and it can be a dead end or in bad shape. The most important rules with Allemansrätten are that you can't start a wildfire, you cannot kill animals or plants, and of course you can't chop off branches or stems, and you must not litter or leave any trace of your having been there at all. BTW: We simply hate it when foreigners abuse this freedom to roam and stay in the nature. It is an amazing freedom, but any day we could get a law against Allemansrätten, that would be a tragedy, most probably caused by tourists.
Just a quick note. Allemansrätten does not give you the right to stay on someone's property or within someone's home peace zone. The home peace zone can also include the nearest yard. But you may follow a driveway, marked track or path that crosses a courtyard. Check if there is an alternative route signposted, if so that's the one to follow.
@@RoamingMario Sorry man, I know it's rather enoying that we Swedes always comment on every little fault we see :D Keep it up and have a great summer here in Sweden! (and a very dark winter)
All over the world the night is as long as the day two times a year, in the middle of fall and the middle of spring, that's true about every part of Sweden, too. 12 hours of day and 12 hour of night. Look out at 22nd of October this year. And the shifts are very gradual, towards midsummer and midwinter respectively. In southern Sweden we have many cloudy days, both in winter and summer, and that has an impact, too. It is important to know that in Sweden we live by the Swedish calendar, you just have to have one, because Swedish people tend to know what they are going to do years ahead, following the traditions of families, friend-groups, clubs, schools, and work-places, but also other arrangements as recurring festivals, like Vikinga-marknad, Falsterbo Horse-show, Kivik's äppelmarknad, Nässelfrossa, Sweden Rock, Malmö-festivalen, and others. In my family with very few traditions we care about, we still have some 20 birthdays, many special "röda dagar" holidays marked in the official calendar, when we almost every year get together. In addition we have week 8 and week 44, when children have holidays from school (in Skåne). We have Valborgsmässoafton in addition to 1th of May, our Mother's Day is the last Sunday in May (not every country has that). Also 6. June is special: National Day. Midsummer is HUGE. July is the general holiday-month, it means nothing is in regular order. And of course a speciality is Lucia (13th Dec), for young people indeed very special. As the weather-conditions are unfavourable for meeting people outside, like in street cafées or bistroes, Swedes gather in small groups at home. Relatives are the closest people for most Swedes, but clubs come at a good second place. And I don't mean disco-clubs with drinking. But football-clubs, dance-clubs, tennis-clubs, sailing-clubs, choirs, clubs for nature-protection, knitting, Lions, churches, every hobby and interest has its clubs. And they all have their own calendar of events. Swedes are very busy, and book everything well in advance. It gets very lonely if you are not OK with that and want to do things spontaneously and when you are in the mood for it. In Sweden you can't take a new person with you to another person's home, like "open house" is very uncommon. Groupsare excusive. People don't feel relaxed around "new people". I've been invited to come along with even new friends abroad, but never ever in Sweden. It has actually happened that I've several times been excluded from invitation to go along with my husband, only he was invited, usually he then declined.
@@RoamingMario Yeah, Skåne is basically continental Europe in comparison. It is a closer distance in between Sweden and Italy than it is Malmö to Luleå...
There is something to explaine, for you to understand; Lagom is.. by the rules actualy.. translated to english, its okey as long one follows the rules/comon sens! And it cant be used if one dont know "the law of Jante", how is a bad saying actualy.. but the contect means, dont think you are a better person then anybody els! IE.. be moderate and humble! Fika can mean many things.. but our conept means a gadering.. often with coffe.. it supose to be those times one sit down and chat with each other.. its a great time to meet new people!! Allemansrätten in Skåne??, our most agriculural landscape, how do you do that.. I know becuse my father is frome this region one avoid farmers fields, gardens and there closest homes! There is still plenty of forests, costal areas, lakes to visit! And dont miss out on Ale Stenar.. swedish stonehenge! The weather in Skåne is "swedish California/Florida".. mild winters.. probably only one month of snow and minus temperatures.. it still get dark, but its then students get to there student clubs/"nations"!
Thanks for the explanation! And I’m really liking Skåne tbh! It’s well connected and the climate (for a person like me that doesn’t like too much hot 🥵) it’s perfect 💯
@@RoamingMario Its this.. one take highst for the worst season in every country/latitud! In south europe its the summer with heat and drought.. in Sweden its the winter.. cold and dark! It makes a different mindset!

As always, we all need to use common sense and not "abuse" this freedom

Me, still after more then 12 years in Denmark, i am hard to adapt to short autumn / winter days and darknesses.
Wow 😅

Try to go further nort and you will really experience the difference between summer and winter.🙂
Would love to visit Luleå tbh 😅

@@stiglarsson8405 true!
If you remake the video but without that annoying background music, I will watch the video and not stop after 1 minute.
Thanks for the advice
@@RoamingMario Thank you, I appreciate this. Background music is very disturbing. Someone who wants this can turn it on themselves.
