Örken, Lake in Kronoberg County, Sweden
Lake Örken extends through a rift valley from Braås to Ramkvilla, featuring a maximum depth of 38 meters and numerous small islands throughout its waters.
The lake formation occurred during the last ice age when glacial movements carved the deep rift valley, creating the current geological structure of Lake Örken.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices on Lake Örken, continuing methods passed down through generations of Swedish lake communities.
Visitors can reach Lake Örken through public transportation from Växjö or by following the Sverigeleden cycling path from surrounding communities.
The eastern shore of Lake Örken rises dramatically to 250 meters above sea level, creating distinct elevation changes unusual for lakes in the region.
