SwedenSveriges geografi, natur, klimat och miljö 14 · Sweden: geography, nature, climate and environment

You are out walking in nature and come to a house where someone lives. What applies under the right of public access (allemansrätten)?

In the exam (Swedish)

Du är ute och går i naturen och kommer fram till ett hus där någon bor. Vad gäller enligt allemansrätten?

  1. aYou may not cross the garden, because the people who live there have the right to be left in peaceDu får inte gå över tomten, eftersom de som bor där har rätt att vara i fredCorrect answer
  2. bYou may cross the garden, if nobody seems to be at home at the momentDu får gå över tomten, om ingen verkar vara hemma just då
  3. cYou may camp in the garden for one night, if you are quiet and clean up after yourselfDu får tälta på tomten en natt, om du är tyst och städar efter dig
  4. dYou may cross the garden, because the right of public access applies everywhere in natureDu får gå över tomten, eftersom allemansrätten gäller i hela naturen

Why?

The right of public access does not apply on the private garden or grounds around someone's home (tomt). The people who live there have the right to privacy in their home (hemfrid), so you should walk around it.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Swedish, as shown above.
