Beautiful Lake Vättern - Vadstena’s “backyard”
Beautiful Lake Vättern, Europe’s fifth-largest lake and Vadstena’s “backyard.” We in Vadstena are fortunate to have Lake Vättern right next to town, and there are many picturesque streets leading down to the water.
A refreshing swim just 600 meters away
Most of the locals usually go for a walk down to Lake Vättern in their dressing gowns for a refreshing swim in summer and winter and when the season rolls in, it's crayfishing that applies to catch some of Lake Vättern's gold for the crayfish dinner.
With its crystal clear waters, Lake Vättern is a tourist attraction in its own right, with many visitors going for a swim, kayaking or boating.
Starby hotel is only 600 meters away from this magnificent place and we highly recommend a swim all year round.
