15 Photos from the Magical Town of Leksand (Sweden)


Lake Siljan & its surroundings is one of the most beautiful places on Earth

The woods by the lake are a great place to go for a romantic walk

'Vackerhet' in Swedish means 'beauty'. Right on the money!

Walking through the forest we found all kinds of wild berries, mushrooms and even spotted a squirrel

 Mother Nature is truly amazing

These trees look like they are about to walk away. I wonder if Tolkien got his inspiration from here...

What can be better than picking your own fruits?

Lake Siljan was formed 377 million years ago by Europe's largest meteoric impact

Simply yummy. And free!

Each of the houses in the Old Leksand Museum have some very interesting explanations in English

And there are pretty flowers everywhere

They even have a small Japanese garden

We found these beauties by our hotel

But even some of the inhabited houses of Leksand look like they could belong in a museum

The locals wouldn't give up on their exercise routine even if it's pouring down rain outside
