Våmhus Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Today's stone church in the late Gustavian style was built in 1780 - 1794 about a hundred meters north-west of the former chapel. The cornerstone was laid in 1771-1773, but work was stopped and only resumed in 1780. The church was commissioned in 1789 and completed in 1794, when it was also consecrated. The church building consists of a rectangular nave with a straight choir in the east. East of the sanctuary is a three-sided sacristy the width of the nave. To the west is a square steeple with an octagonal top and onion-shaped roof. The main entrance is on the ground floor of the tower. Another entrance is in the middle of the south side of the nave. The nave has a mansard roof that is hipped to the east over the sacristy. The interior ceiling of the church has a wooden barrel vault, which was decoratively renewed during a restoration in the 1950s.

Orsasjön Lake Viewing Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the viewing platform you not only have a great view of the lake but also of the waterfowl of the nearby nature reserve. In the meantime, with a bit of luck, an Inlandsbanen railcar will pass on the rails right next to the viewing platform.

July 18, 2025,Siljansleden 4, Runde um den Orsasjön

Today, in quite a heat, we cycled the Siljansleden trail, which circles Lake Orsa. The cycle path often runs along small roads, sometimes even along forest paths. A short section of the route through the forest was very sandy and not very comfortable. At Våmhus, we first took the cycle path into the village, but then decided to drive back …

August 17, 2023,Siljanleden - Mora & Orsa 🇸🇪

After a lot of hikes (and canoe tours) I was on my bike again today: Once around the Orsasjön without the chance to shorten the tour 😅 - but it wasn't necessary either. Every fan of Sweden has certainly heard of the Vasa Run and the Dala horses - we have now been to Mora, where these "celebrities" are located. …
