The terrain rises from the Mälaren lake to the southeast, which has a low, deeply cut coast, where fertile plains spread. It is part of the Swedish lowlands. From the north to the south you will find ridges. In the north, the land rises slowly, and the farmland decreases, which is here divided by forests and lakes. The northwest is characterized by a largely hilly, wooded moraine landscape, however, the plains make deep cuts along the major rivers. Västmanland's largest lake and the country's third-largest lake is called Mälaren. This is also partly located in Södermanland and Uppland and flows into the Baltic Sea. The lake is an attractive destination for fishing enthusiasts from all over Europe. There are in addition to the 33 naturally occurring fish species also planted species. The lake contains fish such as pike, perch, roach, rudd, silver bream, bream, smelt, perch, burbot, tench, and bream. Welcome to the Västmanland, a region with closeness to everything!
