Björkfjärden, Fjard in eastern Mälaren, Sweden
Björkfjärden extends across 349 square kilometers of water surface in Lake Mälaren, reaching depths of 54 meters at its deepest points.
The northern section of Björkfjärden contains Björkö island, which served as the location of the significant Viking settlement of Birka during the 8th century.
Three Swedish counties intersect at Björkfjärden's waters: Uppsala County, Stockholm County, and Södermanland County, reflecting regional administrative boundaries.
The fjard divides into Northern and Southern sections, with Fagerön island marking a natural separation point in the Håbo Municipality region.
Norra Björkfjärdens nature reserve, established in 1968 and expanded in 1995, protects the northern section's ecological characteristics.
