Vänern is the largest lake in Sweden, and the third largest lake in Europe. 

You can go surfing in this inland sea, take a swim among 38 different species of fish, and sail in an archipelago that consists of 22 000 islands, islets and rocks. Or why not just stay here and listen to the black-throated diver and admire the silhouette of the osprey.

Vänern and the Göta älv supply approximately 800 000 persons with drinking-water. 

The water and organisms of the lake Vänern are examined several times a year. For example, 30 ornithologists counts up to 30 000 bird here in June!
