If you want to fish however, a fishing license is required. Furthermore, there are plenty of windbreaks around the area so if you want to rest or stay the night in the wild, the opportunity is here! You may connect to this route via Storån/Angered to the south or from Jennylund/Bohus in the north. Whatever you do, you will always be comfortable and calm walking this scenic route. Welcome to Vättlefjäll. Fun fact: Sweden has “allemansrätten” which means that Swedes are allowed to travel and camp on private ground as well as pick berries, mushrooms, and other plants.
