Very interesting! For sure Allemansrätten has limits, and this does sound like a case where those has been exceeded.
On the other hand, OpenStreetmap is a map which do not, as far as I know, tell people where they may walk according to Allemansrätten. If the path exists, it should probably be in OSM unless maybe its a "skyddsobjekt" or similar. I don't feel like removing the path is the correct solution, and it is likely to get re-added again. We do have the ability to set access rights on ways which is probably the correct solution, but I doubt those are often displayed on maps. /John B On Thu, Jun 13, 2024 at 9:31 AM Örjan Svane via Talk-se < talk-se@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > Dea open street map editors, > your map has a serious error in a location near Stockholm, Sweden, which > you are hereby asked to correct.
