Norway also has this. “Allemannsretten”
- guerrilla 4y agoAs does Sweden.
- m2fkxy 4y agoAs does Finland.
- bjornsing 4y agoIt’s been customary law in Sweden since pretty much forever. But interestingly it had no explicit foundation in written law until 1994, when a short passage was added to the Swedish constitution: “Everyone shall have access to nature in accordance with ‘allemansrätten’” (“Alla ska ha tillgång till naturen enligt allemansrätten”).
- vidarh 4y agoSimilar in Norway (though not added to the constitution) - it was for very long considered so obvious as to be unnecessary to codify, as pretty much the only area of Norwegian law treated similarly as in common law jurisdictions.
- tephra 4y agoWhich becomes even more interesting when you find out that allemansrätten is never defined in law.
