Season 2, Episode 3: “Sweden: Lake Mälaren – at the gates of the capital”

Sweden is famous for its lakes Vänern and Vättern, the two largest in the European Union. The country’s third largest lake, Lake Mälaren, is perhaps the most interesting. It was not until the 10th century that this former Baltic Sea bay was transformed into a lake with a vast surface area of 1,100 square kilometers and a depth of up to 66 meters. Water for 1.3 million people is drawn from it. Lake Mälaren lies on the outskirts of Stockholm and is partly part of the metropolitan area.
