Yngen lake, Lake with clear water in Filipstad, Sweden
Yngen Lake is a large body of clear water located in Filipstad, surrounded by forested islands and shores rich with mineral deposits. The high water clarity results from calcareous rock formations in the surrounding area that support excellent visibility.
Mining operations took place on Getön island between 1784 and 1921, extracting various minerals during an important industrial period. This activity left visible traces on the landscape around the lake.
This lake serves as drinking water for several nearby communities and remains central to local life. Fishing activities continue to shape how residents interact with and value this water.
This lake is easy to reach and explore, especially if you want to see the surrounding forests and islands. Visitors will find that water conditions remain stable throughout the year, making it appealing in any season.
This lake holds one of the southernmost populations of arctic char, making it ecologically significant. Along with alpine bullhead and European perch, the water supports a distinctive fish community found in relatively few places.
