Siljansbygden Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About Siljansbygden
Dalarna has had an important role in Swedish history before modern times. Many rebellions started here; Gustav Vasa's campaign to liberate Sweden fromDenmarkin the 1520s might be the most significant. As nationalist sentiment swept Europe in the 19th century, folklorists travelled to Siljan to seekSwedish folk culture, supposedly less adulterated by cosmopolitan influences of the nobles and the bourgeois. Many cultural expressions of Siljansbygden have become icons of Sweden as a whole: the Dala Horse, the Midsummer celebration, fiddle music, red cabins, crisp bread, and Vasaloppet.
