Leksand sits on the southern shore of Lake Siljan in Dalarna County, Sweden, where the Österdalälven flows out of the lake toward its meeting with the Västerdalälven. The town belongs to the Siljan district, an area closely associated with Dalarna’s folk traditions and red-painted timber buildings. Midsummer is a major local occasion, with public celebrations centred on the raising of the maypole, traditional dress and folk music. Leksands Knäckebröd, a long-established crispbread maker, also gives the town a familiar place in Swedish food culture.
