Surtesjön, Freshwater lake in western Gothenburg region, Sweden
Surtesjön is a freshwater lake in the western Gothenburg region, surrounded by forests and open ground. The lake sits at about 106 meters elevation and is reached by several marked trails that wind along and around its shoreline.
The lake basin formed through natural processes after the last ice age, shaping the landscape thousands of years ago. This geological history made it a permanent feature of the local terrain.
The lake is a gathering place where locals fish and spend time outdoors, especially during warmer months. The surrounding paths are regularly used by people who walk or jog here.
The trails around the lake are accessible year-round, with parking available at several entry points. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for weather conditions, as the paths can become wet after rain.
Researchers regularly monitor the water quality and wildlife around the lake to document ecosystem changes. These observations help understand how the natural environment here evolves over time.
