Well, as you can see this is a part of the county called Västmanland. The
region on the map is called Mälardalen, and Ransta is located between Västerås and Sala.
VL-trains goes 10 times a day in each direction and it takes not more than 20 minutes to Västerås (where I work)
.
No lakes in the nearest area, but there are great forrests around...
