Siljan should definitely be experienced on a boat and you do that with, for example, M/S Gustaf Wasa or S/S Engelbrekt on a tour. Good food and a great experience are promised. Rent a canoe or kayak and enjoy the water life. Definitely worth trying! Boat trip on Siljan!
Cross the finish line in Mora
Visit Mora and walk under the very popular Vasaloppet finish line. Here, many men and women have crossed the ski track and the finish line completely exhausted after running the Vasaloppet. This is truly a special place! Year-round activity.
The road between Rättvik and Leksand
There are several really good roads to take when you go out and discover Dalarna around Siljan and the road from Rättvik and Leksand via Laknäs, Tällberg and Plintsberg is really something out of the ordinary. If you have a motorcycle, it is a magically wonderful road to take. Just drive carefully through the small villages.
Dala horses in Nusnäs
Nusnäs is a must when you want to see and experience the production of Dala horses. Here you can really get close to the production and you can buy all kinds of souvenirs here in Nusnäs. Dala horses are Nusnäs and Dalarna. It is an experience to see how the Dala horses are made and how they are painted by hand. Fun to see all the crafts and also buy a small or large Dala horse home or as a gift.
Långbryggan in Rättvik
Take a stroll on the world’s longest lake bridge. Långbryggan in Rättvik. It is a really nice little walk. Here you are really out on Siljan if you say so. Buy a good ice cream and enjoy the bridge. Långbryggan is really a cozy place. You can see many dear couples walking on this beautiful bridge.
The tourist route at Tällberg
The tourist route at Tällberg is worth a stop and many of us have photographed the kurbits painted telephone kiosk in Tällberg. There are benches here where you can enjoy coffee or an ice cream and the magically beautiful view of Siljan. Definitely worth a stop! Tällberg in particular is magically beautiful. It is beautiful along the entire tourist route, but for my own part, Tällberg is something out of the ordinary.
Swim in Siljan
Swim in Siljan and soak up the wonderful things that are offered here around Siljan. A morning or evening dip is just as nice. Take some coffee with you and enjoy some beautiful beaches. There are a whole bunch of good swimming spots around Siljan and in the lakes in the area. The bath at Rättviksbryggan is popular and covered with fine light sand. Very shallow though. Laknäs, Tällberg, Vikarbyn and many other smaller towns have very nice bathing places in a picturesque environment where you can enjoy cozy bathing in Siljan.
The sunset at Söderås
Söderås is a great place to be if you want to experience a magical sunset. Many have stopped here by the roadside and photographed the sun setting over Siljan and the beautiful forest on the horizon. I have stopped here many times and looked out over the vastness of this beautiful place.
Experiencing Helvetesfallet and Storstupet
Make your way to Helvetesfallet and Storstupet in Orsa and take in the thunder and power that happens here at the falls. This is a popular trip to make at Siljan. It is powerful to be here and the nature around Siljan is magically beautiful. No wonder Dalarna and especially the area around Siljan is so popular and well visited.
Bingsjöstämman
Experience the Bingsjöstämman. This event is currently canceled due to the pandemic, but it will be back as soon as the Corona has subsided. This is really Dalarna for real! Fiddlers in every bush and beautiful traditional music. The international element and the Swedish are reflected here.
Laknäs pier
Laknäs Brygga is a beautiful place to stop and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Siljan. Siljan is the heart of Dalarna and this is especially noticeable here. Here time stands still and you can swim and enjoy the beautiful views here at the jetty. It is a Sweden in miniature here for real!
