Rättvik

Unique cultural traditions and great scenery have put this small town on the map. Set between dense forests and the tranquil Lake Siljan, Rättvik is known for its artisan population. The craftsmanship of the famous Dala Horses and a thriving folk music community are largely responsible for this reputation, but Rättvik has even more to offer. Its 13th century church is just one striking example of the medieval architecture that pervades the charming town, and there are many museums dedicated to the area’s culture and history.
