Bolmen, Lake in Gislaved Municipality, Sweden
Bolmen is a large freshwater lake spanning four municipalities and surrounded by dense forest. Its waters contain many islands and provide various habitats for plants and wildlife.
The lake was connected to the Skåne region through a tunnel built during the 1970s and 1980s to secure water supply to the south. This infrastructure made the water body a vital resource for economic development in the area.
The island of Bolmsö functions as a central gathering location for community assemblies, preserving local traditions through generations.
Visitors can swim, boat, and fish, with marked areas along the shoreline. Many small docks and beaches are accessible via forest paths, making exploration straightforward.
The lake hosts over 20 different fish species that thrive in its waters. This makes it one of the region's richest fishing grounds and draws anglers from far away.
