Lake Ohrid is over 300 meters deep and covers more than 350 square kilometers between Macedonia, Albania and Greece. It is 1.4 million years old. Together with its smaller junior partner, Lake Prespa, which is located just 15 kilometers further east on the border between Macedonia and Greece, it forms Europe’s oldest lake landscape.

Ireland’s largest freshwater lake – Lough Corrib – begins just behind Galway, European Capital of Culture 2020. It covers an area of 200 square kilometers. The largest lake in the Republic of Ireland. Its shores stretch over a length of 400 kilometers. That is more than any other lake in the British Isles. This is where Ireland’s Wild West begins. Sparsely populated, full of rich history and ecologically significant.

Sweden is famous for its lakes Vänern and Vättern, the two largest in the European Union. The country’s third largest lake, Lake Mälaren, is perhaps the most interesting. It was not until the 10th century that this former Baltic Sea bay was transformed into a lake with a vast surface area of 1,100 square kilometers and a depth of up to 66 meters. Water for 1.3 million people is drawn from it. Lake Mälaren lies on the outskirts of Stockholm and is partly part of the metropolitan area.
