Västgötabergen

About

Västgötabergen is the Swedish name for a range of 13 to 17 stratified mesas surrounding the Västgöta Plain (Västgötaslätten). The plain, roughly corresponding to the northern part of the historic province of Västergötland, comprises multiple distinct plateaus, extending between Lake Vänern in the northwest, Lake Vättern in the northeast, and the South Swedish Highlands in the south. The highest peaks are located in Falbygden, a historic cultural region in western Sweden, sometimes known as "Falan" due to its high plateau between the cities of Skövde and Falköping. The highest point is Ålleberg near Falköping, at 330 metres above sea level. Geologically, the region forms part of the Central Swedish Depression.
