Lake Vättern is Sweden's second largest lake after Vänern. The water is deep (except in the northern part), very clear and not particularly warm. There are some wonderful bathing spots on the lake, including Vättersvallen in Brevik (with a lovely campsite), Djäknasundet in Karlsborg and, last but not least, Varamo Baths in Motala, Northern Europe's longest inland lake beach.
