Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

  • the allemansrätten does NOT cover husbil, husvagn or a car with a roof tent
  • THE LANDOWNER CANNOT GRANT PERMISSION: the terrängkörningslagen binds the landowner too

Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Sweden
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
  • draws the line EARLIER than almost anyone: at the WHEEL
  • forbidden «oavsett om du vill övernatta eller bara parkera» — regardless of whether the intention is to sleep overnight or just to park
  • the roof tent is EXPRESSLY named as not covered, because it is mounted on a vehicle
