Dahlälven flows from northwest to southeast and flows into the Baltic Sea about 150 kilometers north of Stockholm. Klarrelven flows from north to south and flows into the largest lake in the country and the European Union Vänern. Vönern then flows into the Göta Älv river, which flows into Westerhavet in the Gothenburg region.

Fishing
Sven says: “Immediately it should be noted that in central Sweden the greatest interest for fishermen is pike fishing, which is rich in the entire region, and the average weight of specimens is quite high. In nutrient-rich waters, primarily in the south, there is also a large number of perch in the mouths of rivers. Everywhere fish of the carp family are well caught, in particular roach, rudd, bream, white bream, and bleak. In many bodies of water one can also find such fish of the carp family as the ide, asp, tench, chub and many others. ”
Salmon and brown trout are caught in the lower reaches of large and small rivers flowing into the sea.
