The story
Finland lets anyone walk, ski, camp for a night or pick berries on land they do not own, provided they keep clear of the house and do no harm. The rule rests on custom more than on any single law. In English it is the right to roam.

everyone's right to walk, camp and forage on land they do not own — the right to roam
Closest in English: right-to-roam, freedom-to-roam, roaming. None of them covers it.
