Glan

Lake Glan is a large freshwater lake in Östergötland that spans across the municipalities of Finspång and Norrköping with depths exceeding 20 meters in places. The water body features a long, irregular shoreline with numerous bays and coastal areas that support different habitats and recreational zones.

The lake has sustained human communities in Östergötland for thousands of years, serving as a vital food source and water supply for early settlements in the region. The water and its fish populations supported local populations across many generations and shaped how communities developed along its shores.

The lake serves as a gathering place for people from surrounding communities who spend time fishing and enjoying outdoor activities along its shores. Local residents have built their leisure traditions and social routines around the water and the landscape it creates.

Multiple entry points around the lake allow visitors to reach the shoreline for fishing and water activities in the warmer months. Plan your visit during these peak times when conditions are most favorable and facilities are fully operational.

The lake is home to specific fish species like pike and zander that thrive in its waters and draw anglers interested in these catches. These fish become more active during the cooler seasons when water conditions change throughout the year.
