Husbyringen

Discover Husbyringen - a journey in time and place. The Husby Ring is a nature and culture trail running through the Husby Parish in southern Dalarna.

It can claim to be Sweden's first echo museum and one of southern Dalarna's oldest tourist destinations. Here, a 60 kilometer experience is offered in a fascinating trail with medieval ancestors. It winds along smaller roads through the genuinely charming and idyllic landscape and the villages Smedby / Dala-Husby, Långshyttan, Silfhytteå, Stjärnsund and Kloster. The 30 most interesting sights are well marked. Download Visit Dalarnas app, available in both the App Store and the Play Store. Husbyringen's Visitor Center and the bistro in Stjärnsund offers all the information a visitor would need. You can also rent a bicycle in here. Husbyringen starts in the farming land in the south and then continues north, through dense forests and over mountains. The Husby ring can claim to be the Sweden´s first eco-museum, which means that the landscape itself is the museum. Here the visitor meets past and present, culture and nature. The basic idea is human interaction with nature, viewed in historical perspective. Pay a visit to Stjärnsund, one of the most interesting places to visit because of the life and activity of the great inventor Christopher Polhem, founder of Sweden´s first industry in the18th century. The Kloster museum tells us about the exciting development from the worlds most northern cistercian monastery in the 1400s, as well as the gunpowder epoch and industrial time. Alongside Husbyringen there are cafes and restaurants that offers local food. Places to stay: Hotel: Långshyttans Brukshotell. Bed & Breakfast: Husby Kungsgård and Kloster Herrgård.
