Siljan is Sweden's sixth largest lake, 161 metres above sea level, with a surface area of 290 square kilometres. Siljan was formed when a meteorite struck 365 million years ago and is part of a network of lakes and rivers called the Siljan Ring.
There are numerous hiking and cycling trails, as well as ski slopes in the area. One of the trails, Siljansleden, includes 34 kilometres of hiking trails in varied landscape. Along the trails there are several rest stops for those who want to go for a day trip and walk or cycle as far as possible. Bathing spots are found all over Siljan and Lake Orsa.
