Rättvik Långbryggan
Långbryggan
A 628-metre timber pier reaching into Lake Siljan. Built in the late 19th century for steamboats to dock, it is the most classic photo spot on the lake.
The Long Pier was built in 1895 so that lake steamers could dock in the shallow bay. It is about 628 metres long and is one of the longest timber piers in Northern Europe, though it has been repaired several times since. Walking to the end, you can look back toward Rättvik Church and the hills along the shore. The sunset and its reflection on the water are at their best on summer evenings. In winter, when the lake freezes, the scenery looks completely different. The pier is free to visit and lies beside Rättvik railway station, a few minutes' walk away. It can be visited together with the Rättvik Church on the lakeshore.
