Vänern (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈvɛːnəɳ]) is the largest lake in Sweden, the largest lake in the European Union and the third-largest lake entirely in Europe after Ladoga and Onega in Russia. It is located in the provinces of Västergötland, Dalsland, and Värmland in the southwest of the country.
Geologically, the lake was formed after the last ice age about 10,000 years ago; when the ice melted, the entire width of Sweden was covered in water, creating a strait between Kattegat and the Gulf of Bothnia. Due to the ensuing isostatic rebound, lakes such as Vänern and Vättern became pursed off. As a result, there are still species remaining from the ice age not normally encountered in fresh water lakes, such as the amphipod Monoporeia affinis. A Viking ship was found on the lake's bottom on May 6, 2009.
A story told by the 13th-century Icelandic mythographer Snorri Sturluson in his Prose Edda about the origin of Lake Mälaren was probably originally about Vänern: the Swedish king Gylfi promised a woman, Gefjun, as much land as four oxen could plough in a day and a night, but she used oxen from the land of the giants, and moreover uprooted the land and dragged it into the sea, where it became the island of Zealand. Snorra Edda says that 'the inlets in the lake correspond to the headlands in Zealand'; since this is much more true of Vänern, the myth was probably originally about Vänern, not Mälaren.
Fisket kunde vart bättre men det var trevligt att vara ute, man lär sig nåt nytt varje gång.

Välkomna på LIVEfiske med guiden Petter Larsson, en av Sveriges mest rutinerade laxguider. Vi trollar Vänerlax, något Petter verkligen kan på sin fem fingrar och inte nog med det han har också laxrekordet på Vänern. Under dagen fångade vi fem laxar och öringar med en otroligt vacker toppfisk på över 7,1 kilo!
Vi bor på Kronocampng Lidköping och Grännastrandens Camping under vårt besök i Västergötland och på Visingsö.

Reissun viimeinen vetopäivä kruunattiin linnan edustalla. Tämä kala oli päivän toinen mitta. 7kg lohi. Nappasi lämpimämmästä vedestä Kesoselta venemessuilta ostettuun AS huppuun. Värinä cohoblue jossa vihreä verkko päällä. Levynä pieni VK, kromille maalattu vihreä jossa kirkas teippaus. Heti kohta tämän kalan jälkeen päätettiin että nyt ollaan viimeistään tyytyväisiä ja että lähdetään perkuuhommiin. Kuinka ollakkaan vielä kamoja nostaessa nappasi toiseksi ulommaisesta mittalohi. Kai tällä hotspotilla olisi ollut ainekset kuuluisaan fulpottiinkin mutta eipä auta ahneeksi alkaa. Päivän saldo siis kolme lohta. Ei ihan huono lopetus reissulle. Oltais muuten voitettu samaisen perjantain Kinnekulle treffien eka päivä kolmella mittakalalla :D http://kinnekulletraffen.blogspot.fi/2016/04/fredag...

Lägg till en kort beskrivning...Guide OutDry is a range of working gloves that in short can cope with weather; by this we mean weather that most of us do not like. When the rain's coming in horizontally, when it's cold, wet and slushy. The tougher the job and conditions you are faced with - the more you need Guide OutDry gloves.
We are a couple that lives in a van fulltime. Now we are travelling through southern parts of Sweden, North Europe. We bicycled around misty town called Lidköping and stopped at Trollhättan to eat on our way to Göteborg city. Thank you for watching our videos.

Modern time wonder Gota Kanal in Sweden. Gothenburg is Sweden’s second largest seaport and is located on the west coast and is the country’s military and economic "Gateway To The World" whose rapid prosperity came when the city’s merchants created their own "East India Company" in true Dutch style. We are going on a journey on the Göta Canal that travels from Gothenburg to Stockholm and is Sweden’s construction of the millennium, connecting the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. After crossing Lake Vättern we reach Borenshult, an important section of the canal with five lock chambers and a height of almost sixteen metres to overcome. This lock brings the history of the Göta Canal back to life, deep down below Lake Boren, and the joining together of the great lakes, Vänern and Vättern. We arri...

Travel video about destination Tanum in Sweden. On the west coast of Sweden, north of Gothenburg and set amid rolling hills, is a small reconstructed Bronze Age village, the museum village of Tanum. Beginning in the third millennium B.C., the North European Bronze Age reached Scandinavia and transformed the structure of society. The people built settlements and lived together in huts as extended families. There was livestock and agriculture and village communities began to trade with those who were able to produce bronze tools and weaponry. Prehistoric images have been discovered in Tanum, impressive archaeological finds that date back to the Bronze Age. The images are to be found across a large area and are carved in shallow rock mounds, worked by stone tools. Today most of the carvin...
Hearing from a Swedish fisherwoman; prequel to interview by Shaun Paul of People and Planet Holdings with Johanna MacTaggart, Coordinator at Biosphere Reserve Lake Vänern Archipelago and Mount Kinnekulle; Vastra Gotaland County, Sweden. As part of SoCap Deep Local, they discuss how the Biosphere Innovation System is being used to foster social enterprise for ecosystem health.
Bike trip along the Göta Canal in Sweden heading for Sjötorp on 9 July 2014 with a view to the greatest European lake The Vänern. At min. 1.30 I almost was bitten by an insect during my ride, so I had to stop in the middle of my recording and vipe the beast away, and at the end of the video I say some rubbish about the Vättern. What you see is of course the lake Vänern at Sjötorp from where you can sail to Vänersborg/Trollhättan and the Göta älv :)
