## Mushrooms and berries
In the forests around Leksand you can pick mushrooms and berries under the right of public access. Only pick what you are sure you recognise.

## Yellow birches and misty mornings
In autumn the birches around Lake Siljan turn yellow, and the mornings can be misty and still. Take your morning walk before breakfast.

## An autumn day with culture and hockey

Let the weather decide the order of your day. The church by Lake Siljan can be a walking destination, about 11 minutes from the hotel. Leksand Art Museum is about a 12-minute walk away and publishes exhibitions and opening hours through the municipality. Plan a hockey evening around Leksands IF's fixtures. Tegera Arena is an 8-minute walk away, so you can walk back to your room after the game. Check tickets and face-off time before booking the trip.
