Bolmen is Sweden's tenth largest lake. It is located in the southwest of Småland and is divided into the four municipalities of Ljungby (southeast of the lake), Hylte (west), Gislaved (northwest) and Värnamo (northeast). It is said that Bolmen has 365 islands, one for each day. In reality there are probably a few more. The largest island is Bolmsö.

May 26, 2024,Bolmensee - Schweden 🇸🇪🌤🙂🙃

Today we did a round trip from Lake Bolmen along long forest paths (I haven't seen so many trees in a long time), with lovely little Swedish wooden houses in between, to Odensjö with its small beach. The way back again went along a forest and asphalt path in wonderful weather.
