Rättviks kommun Essentials

Rättviks kommun features some of Dalarna’s most distinct landmarks, centered around the shores of Lake Siljan. The 628-meter Långbryggan wooden pier extends into the shallow waters, while the Dalhalla amphitheater, carved from a former limestone quarry, provides a unique acoustic setting for summer concerts. Natural sites include the 36-meter Styggforsen waterfall and the Ärteråsberget viewpoint. Local culture is represented through traditional flatbread baking at Rättviks Tunnbrödsbageri and the preserved heritage buildings at Rättviks Gammelgård.
