Ånnsjön, Protected lake and wetland site in Jämtland County, Sweden

Located at an elevation of 525 meters above sea level, Ånnsjön extends across 59 square kilometers with depths reaching 40 meters in its southern section.

Archaeological findings around the lake reveal more than 60 ancient fishing settlements, with human presence dating back 6,000 to 7,000 years along its shores.

The lake area maintains strong connections to Saami traditions through reindeer husbandry practices and a chapel built in 1806 serving local Saami communities.

Visitors can access the lake via European route E14 and utilize the network of footpaths, boardwalks, and birdwatching towers throughout the protected area.

The lake features rare inland deltas on its western shores and contains preserved pine trunks in Klockamyren peat dating back 4,600 to 6,100 years.
