SWEDEN WATERWAYS 

LAGAN (RIVER)

The Lagan is one of four main westcoast rivers in south-western Sweden besides Göta älv.

At 244 kilometres it is one of the longest rivers in southern Sweden.

It starts in Tahesjön outside Taberg flows through Vaggeryd, Värnamo and Ljungby and ends in the town of Mellbystrand in the Bay of Laholm, part of the strait of Kattegat.

People have been following the river from the coastal areas since the Viking Age and settling in its vicinity. They established a trading route called Lagastigen, which is now part of the E4 highway.
