      Nice circular hike with a view of the castle.
      The many sculptures placed by the lake are pretty to look at.

        The average altitude is 171 meters above sea level and the area is 8.59 square kilometers. If the 2 upstream catchment areas are included, this results in a cumulative area of 20.47 square kilometers. The Bergunda Canal, which drains the catchment area, has a tributary order 2, which means that the water flows through a total of 2 watercourses before reaching the sea after 114 kilometers. The catchment area has 0.76 square kilometers of water surface, which corresponds to a sea level of 8.8%. The buildings in the area cover an area of 7.34 square kilometers or 85% of the catchment area.

        The lake is a very bird-rich lake with many ducks and Canada geese.

        Växjösjön was previously heavily polluted and eutrophied. An official report from 1901 states: “Växjösjön cannot serve any purpose other than a large storage tank for the city's sewage”. Nowadays most of the wastewater is treated in sewage treatment plants. However, eutrophication remains an environmental problem that the community is working on.
