Lake Hornborga

Lake Hornborga spans 28 square kilometers with shallow waters reaching a maximum depth of 2 meters, creating perfect conditions for diverse aquatic life.

The lake underwent multiple water level reductions between 1802 and 1933, shrinking from 28 to 4 square kilometers before a restoration project began in 1992.

During spring migration, thousands of visitors gather at Lake Hornborga to observe the mating dance rituals of cranes, a Swedish seasonal tradition.

Two visitor centers, Trandansen and Naturum Hornborgasjön, provide exhibitions, information, and viewpoints for observing the numerous bird species at the lake.

In 2019, Lake Hornborga recorded over 27,000 cranes simultaneously present during the spring migration, establishing an unprecedented gathering at this location.
