As the biggest lake in Sweden and the EU, Vänern resembles the sea in some respects. You’ll find barren cliffs and skerries, wide sandy beaches, and shallow coves. The lake contains 22,000 islands, islets and skerries. Vänern is also the largest lake in the EU, the third largest in Europe, after lakes Ladoga and Onega, and the 26th largest in the world.
