Rank : 8.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 58.27670225207554, 13.488820262499829 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Mainly birdlife: the lake is famous especially for cranes in spring, but there are also wild swans, grebes, eagle rays, falcon grazers, lapwings, and much more. In the surroundings I also saw moose, but for those you need a lot of luck.

Recommended equipment : A wide angle to cover the entire lake and above all a telephoto lens. Cranes can also be very close, I recommend a 100-400 or similar.

Best months : From late March to mid-April the cranes arrive and can be observed "dancing". The cranes are also passing through in autumn, but in that period they are more reserved and stay less close.

How to get there : Bus 203 from Skara or Falköping, which can be reached by direct train either from Stockholm or Gothenburg. Stop "Trandansen" ("the dance of the cranes").

Visits : Admission is free, even to the Naturum on the east coast of the lake (a visit is highly recommended). Parking is subject to a fee and the proceeds go to the cranes.
