In normal cases, the water is right up to the edge of the wall at the Frykens Pärla restaurant in Lysvik.
Now the thorny rocks on the lake bottom can be seen a good distance and you can walk to the boat dock dry-shod.
- We waited and waited for the spring flood, but it never came, says restaurant owner Niclas Olsson.
According to Fortum, which regulates Fryken, among other things, the situation is very unusual.
Lakes and streams are far below normal for the season.
- I can not remember any minor spring flood if you look at the whole of Värmland, says Claes Kjörk, water regulation manager at Fortum.
In the clip, Claes Kjörk tells more about the situation.
Hoping for rain
Even in the watercourses upstream of Fryken, the levels are very low for the season.
- It will go up, but very slowly.
It all depends on how much rain there is, says Claes Kjörk.
Niclas Jonsson also hopes for rain.
- First more rain and then we want summer.
