On thin ice: Stockholm's long-distance skaters brave the elements - SilverKris

"Sweden’s largest lake, which still typically freezes over today but faces rapid change: hydrological forecasts predict progressively shorter ice seasons (with many years ice-free by mid-century), making it an emblem of how warming is already reducing reliable natural-ice opportunities for long-distance skating." - Richard Orange

This place is absolutely lovely. The lake is beautiful, serene, with such clear water and gorgeous reflections. The surrounding nature is impressive — lots of wildlife, birds, green trees, peaceful vibes everywhere. It’s one of those spots that makes you slow down, breathe deeply, and just enjoy being outdoors. If you ever get a chance to visit, bring your camera (or just your eyes) — the views and the animals make it worth it.

Lots of water and very wet. Gets partly phrozen during winter. Fishing is free and there is lots of perch.
