Mien, Impact crater lake in Kronoberg County, Sweden.
Mien is an impact crater lake in Kronoberg County with a circular shape that contains several islands and steep underwater features. The geology creates different zones within the lake, making it interesting for water exploration and observation.
This lake formed approximately 121 million years ago when a meteorite struck the Earth during the Early Cretaceous period, creating a circular depression. The impact event shaped the landscape and left behind the geological features that define it today.
The Miens Fisheries Area Association, established in 1989, manages the lake's waters and promotes sustainable fishing practices among local communities.
Fishing on the lake requires a permit that can be obtained online through standard channels. Boat access is possible for those interested in exploring the water or enjoying time on the lake.
The water in this lake undergoes complete renewal through natural inflow and outflow processes that cycle through over several years. This continuous exchange helps maintain water quality and keeps the ecosystem in balance.
