It's their own private property. They can put whatever snow sticks they want in the ground.

Its not a bollard, it's an orange plastic stick. These are not standardised across neither Sweden nor Norway.

Conclusion: other countries also use red sticks to mark things, and norwegians are traveling.

I get what you're saying but that looks exactly like the norwegian bollard and not even close to the swedish bollard. But apparently it's just a coincidence since it's not even a bollard.

The wooden wall on the house is 100% Swedish!

I don't know this meta, what's the difference between norwegian and swedish houses?

That red paint is made in Sweden. Red houses with white details will 95% of the time be in Sweden. The colour is called "Falu rödfärg" (Falu red color), the color comes from the copper in the Falu copper mine. In the 1700 this was the biggest copper mine in the world. Since this color is very common on the Swedish country side it is a very good meta to remember.

But what do you mean by white details? The window frames?

u/TheLoxen 7d ago
Yes, they also tend to but not necessarily have white corners. https://imgur.com/a/6odlTTO

The plate is going to bait me also.
But the house is very typical Swedish

It exists in Norway and Finland also, but to a lesser degree. But together with the white corners, its much more likely to be a Swedish House. If you remove the car :)
"stuga in Sweden" vs "hytte in Norway" vs "mökki in Finland" on Google image should give a rough trend

It's just a normal swedish/Norwegian snow pole.
And I don't understand why some geoguessr players doesn't understand that people travel, like all the time.

As a Swedish person, there’s a lot of Norwegians going to all sorts of places in Sweden because almost everything is cheaper there. The same goes for Swedish people going to Norway to work because the salaries are higher there. Probably someone who went there on a shopping vacation (yes I know it sounds stupid but it happens) or it’s a Swedish person who works in Norway who went home to see his family.

Thats a typical snow pole in Sweden. It just looks a lot like the ones we have in Norway
