TIL that in Sweden you have a constitutional right to allemansrätten, which is the right to peacefully hike, camp, bike and enjoy nature anywhere in the country unimpeded, with the only restriction being very close to someone's house or if you mess up a garden.

Hej, jurist här. Ditt originalpåstående är inte korrekt. Allemansrätten är inte en del av Sveriges grundlag.

Allemansrätten är en så kallad sedvanerätt; det är en oskriven lag, men den anses gälla som lag i Sverige. Letar du i en lagbok så hittar du bara referenser till allemansrätten i Miljöbalken, exempelvis miljöbalkens 7 kap. 1 §, men Miljöbalken är inte en grundlag.

Så jag skulle gärna se att du ändrar din toppkommentar, för den stämmer inte; vi har inte röstat in allemansrätten in i grundlagen. Detta har aldrig hänt. Det är ett helt och hållet felaktigt påstående.

English: Lawyer here. /u/jeppeerixon's statement is incorrect. Allemansrätten is not part of the Swedish constitution. In fact it's not regulated in any formal law at all. It is, however, an accepted custom in Sweden and accepted as being part of Swedish law. It's valid, and you can invoke it in a court of law, but if you look in a law book you're not going to find it.
