- 1Att alla får bo gratis i skogen, men bara om man inte äger någon bostad i kommunenThat everyone may live for free in the forest, but only if they own no home in the municipality
- 2Att alla får jaga och fiska överallt i Sverige, även på privat mark, utan tillståndThat everyone may hunt and fish anywhere in Sweden, even on private land, without a permit
- 3Att staten äger all mark i Sverige och att alla därför får göra vad de vill i naturenThat the state owns all land in Sweden and everyone may therefore do as they like in nature
- ✓Att alla får vistas i naturen, även på privat mark, om man visar hänsynThat everyone may be in nature, even on private land, as long as they show consideration
Correct answer: That everyone may be in nature, even on private land, as long as they show consideration
The right of public access means 'do not disturb, do not destroy'. You may hike, camp one night and pick berries and mushrooms, but not go near someone's house or litter.
