Lake Trummen

Lake Trummen extends across 75 hectares within the city limits of Växjö, reaching a depth of 2.5 meters at its deepest point.

The lake underwent a pioneering restoration project from 1970 to 1971, when scientists removed 60 centimeters of contaminated sediment through suction dredging techniques.

The lake area near Linnaeus University serves as a gathering place for students and residents who participate in outdoor activities throughout the seasons.

Visitors can access walking paths along the 6.6-kilometer shoreline, which connects to Teleborg Castle and Sankt Sigfrids Hospital.

Lake Trummen became the first successful example of large-scale sediment pumping for lake rehabilitation, attracting international attention from water management experts.
