Åsunden, Lake in Västergötland, Sweden.

Lake Åsunden extends across 34 square kilometers with multiple small islands and connects to the river Ätran as one of its main outflows points.

The Battle of Bogesund occurred on the frozen lake surface in January 1520, where Christian II of Denmark defeated Swedish regent Sten Sture the Younger.

The lake maintains strong connections to Swedish fishing traditions, with local regulations promoting sustainable practices and catch limits for various fish species.

Visitors can access the 49-kilometer Åsunden Trail, which circles the lake and passes through nature reserves Korpeboberg and Kråkebo.

The lake water quality remains so pure that it can be consumed directly, supporting a diverse ecosystem of pike, perch, walleye, and multiple other fish species.
