Today, almost every harbour has its own website, which often contains much more up-to-date information about infrastructure and events than any harbour handbook can provide. However, searching for the right pages is often a bit cumbersome, especially abroad. For Sweden's largest inland lake, the site www.vanerhamnar.se now at least 14 of these pages at a glance.
The overview is maintained by an association of public and private harbour operators and is intended to help increase the attractiveness of the area. So far, only about half of the harbours on the Vänern are represented, but the selection should be sufficient for a two-week cruise.
A more comprehensive overview of the harbours can be found on the well-known website gasthamnsguiden.se.
