Leksand star star : The Michelin guide review

Situated at the southernmost tip of Lake Siljan, Leksand is a small, active community and the regional centre of the 90 villages in the area. The town upholds various ancient traditions, such as its Midsummer maypole celebration. The Kulturhus houses a museum of Dalarna painting and local costumes. A charming 13C church sits in a peaceful location at the edge of the lake. North of the church, the Japanese park honours the cooperation between Leksand and the Japanese town of Tobetsu.
