It stretches from Köpmannebro at Lake Vänern to the Årjäng region and then to Östervallskog near the Norwegian border. It covers a natural landscape of 10.000 square kilometers and contains many areas of high natural value, beautiful forests and a rich wildlife. Lake Vänern is the largest sweet water lake in Western Europe. 25 percent of the surface of Dalsland and 19 percent of the surface of Värmland are covered by lakes. Värmland and Dalsland have combined well over 10.000 lakes. Please help us to preserve and protect the unique natural beauty and ecosystems of the area with eco-friendly behavior when you visit us.
