strompa allemansrätten
A Swedish property-claiming practice where placing a sock on the inside door handle of a house or property establishes temporary possession, similar to squatters’ rights.
Strompa means sock or stocking, while allemansrätten is Sweden’s traditional “right of public access,” which gives people broad freedom to access and enjoy land and nature.
