Lakes and Wetlands of Sweden

Småland's diverse aquatic landscape features a mix of massive inland waters and secluded forest ponds. Highlights include Lake Mien, formed within a prehistoric meteorite crater, and Åsnen, a 150 km² lake that serves as the source for the Mörrumsån river. The region is characterized by complex drainage systems, including the Nissan and Lagan river basins, which support a variety of birdlife and riparian ecosystems across Gislaved and surrounding municipalities.
