Enjoy a memorable steamship cruise with S/S Engelbrekt and experience Lake Siljan and its waterways just as people once did. Departing from Leksand, the journey takes you down the river and out onto Siljan, offering a peaceful experience rich in history and natural beauty.
When iron production expanded in the regions around Siljan, transportation became essential. Mining, smelting and access to firewood took place in different locations, making lakes and rivers the most important transport routes. Sailing vessels known as freight barges were used to cross Siljan and travel downstream. The journey upstream was far more challenging and often required the boats to be hauled from shore using ropes.
Today, this maritime heritage lives on through S/S Engelbrekt, which now operates passenger cruises with dining on board. A trip with Engelbrekt is a truly unforgettable experience, combining scenic views, traditional steamship atmosphere and enjoyable meals while gliding across the waters of Siljan.
