Odensjön Lake
Highlight • Lake
You can swim in the lake, but it gets deep very quickly and the bottom is rocky and muddy. There are several barbecue areas and a shelter. In the summer, Kultur i Natur organizes concerts with well-known artists at Odensjön. The event is therefore very well attended.
Odensjön is an almost perfectly circular groundwater lake on the edge of the municipality of Röstånga. It lies in the depressed part of a crack valley running north-south. The lake is known for its shape and there have been many myths about its formation and history. Among other things, it was always claimed that the lake was bottomless. Lake Odense has crystal-clear water and is 19 meters deep. The water maintains a temperature of approximately 6-8 degrees Celsius at the bottom. The fact that the temperature is so consistent throughout the year is due to the lake's relatively deep water supply and its drainage. The water surface is 60 meters above sea level, and the plateau is approximately 100 meters above sea level.
