Guidebook for hiking around Lake Siljan

This is the second revised edition of Hiking Around Lake Siljan. If you love hiking, you’ll find a wealth of trails, paths, and routes in the Lake Siljan area—from old summer farm paths to modern trails such as the Vasalopp Trail and the Siljan Trail. The Siljan region is also rich in cultural history and geological points of interest, often adding an extra dimension to your hike. Hiking Around Lake Siljan presents 35 walks accessible from various starting points around Orsa, Mora, Rättvik, and Leksand. The routes range from 2 to 60 kilometers in length. Some are quite hilly and take a full day to complete, while others follow flat terrain and are perfect for a shorter outing. One chapter focuses on the Siljan Trail and describes several excellent multi-day hikes along the route. Each map in the book includes a QR code—simply scan it with your phone’s camera to easily follow the route on your device. The author, Teresia Holmberg, is a biologist living outside Rättvik. She is passionate about environmental issues and making outdoor life accessible to all. With Hiking Around Lake Siljan, she hopes to deepen hikers’ understanding of the natural world around us and place historical events in a broader context.
