Fegen, Lake and nature reserve in southern Sweden
Lake Fegen sits in southern Sweden's landscape and forms a natural border between Halland, Småland, and Västergötland provinces. The water is clear and surrounded by diverse habitats that support rich wildlife.
The lake first received protection in 1980 as a nature protection area and was later designated as an official nature reserve in 2010. This progression reflects growing recognition of the water's environmental importance.
The lake serves as a gathering place where three Swedish regions meet, blending local traditions and conservation values. People from surrounding areas use this space for outdoor recreation and connection with nature.
The lake offers fishing, hiking, swimming, and canoeing, with equipment available at several spots around the shore. The trails crossing the area provide good access points to the water and different vantage points.
The area is part of Europe's Natura 2000 protection network and hosts species that are less common in other Swedish lakes. This designation highlights its special ecological role in the region.
