Holiday home on Lake Vänern: a door to another world
Lake Vänern dominates the lakes of Sweden, as the largest in the country and the third largest in Europe. Formed ten thousand years ago just after the last Ice Age, the lake is home to numerous marine species, uniquely different from those found in freshwater lakes.
