Odensjön Lake

Highlight • Lake

Odensjön is worth a visit because of its fantastic location and its different shapes. However, there is more to see than just a round lake. In the slopes themselves you can see snow niches (shallow niches), fantastic steep slopes and a cave (overhang). The lake is a very popular tourist destination.

You can swim in the lake, but it gets deep very quickly and the bottom is rocky and muddy. There are several barbecue areas and a shelter. In the summer, Kultur i Natur organizes concerts with well-known artists at Odensjön. The event is therefore very well attended.

Odensjön is an almost perfectly circular groundwater lake on the edge of the municipality of Röstånga. It lies in the depressed part of a crack valley running north-south. The lake is known for its shape and there have been many myths about its formation and history. Among other things, it was always claimed that the lake was bottomless. Lake Odense has crystal-clear water and is 19 meters deep. The water maintains a temperature of approximately 6-8 degrees Celsius at the bottom. The fact that the temperature is so consistent throughout the year is due to the lake's relatively deep water supply and its drainage. The water surface is 60 meters above sea level, and the plateau is approximately 100 meters above sea level.

Nice place, especially for tents. At the lake under trees, good lawn to fasten the tent anchors. Seating available (2x). New wash house is good (clean but might be a bit cramped when space is full). The old one is, let's call it "somewhat rustic". The staff is very friendly and you can get a lot in the well-stocked shop. Would go back anytime.

At the beginning of the lake there is a nice bench under a few trees. The ideal place for a lunch break.
