Björkelången, Freshwater lake in Värmland, Sweden.

Located at 117 meters above sea level, Björkelången spans across the landscape with its waters reaching multiple kilometers of shoreline.

The lake formed through geological processes during the last ice age, when glacial movements shaped the Swedish landscape approximately 10,000 years ago.

Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices on Björkelången, following methods passed down through generations of Swedish lake communities.

Visitors can access the lake through multiple entry points along its shore, with parking facilities available near the main water access areas.

The lake experiences significant seasonal variations in daylight hours, with summer days extending past 19:00 and winter days concluding before 16:00.
