Stjärnsund is a small pittoresque village in the South of Dalarna. It´s situated along the lake Grycken, and because of it´s history, setting and charm many tourists find their way to here (especially in summer-time, when also the annual folk-festival takes place here (the first weekend of august)). But also when snow covers the landscape it is magic here. Normally the winter starts slowly end of november/beginning of december and ends in march/april, but usually it takes a while until the temperatures stay under 0 degrees. Having said that, it means that Christmas can be white here but if you want to be sure to have snow and ice on the lake( where one can walk to the different islands), then january and february are the most beautiful wintermonths.
Here, there is a church, a shop with very good opening hours (for such a small village), a centre for relaxation and mindfulness. Courses of all kind are given there. From here you can take the bus to Hedemora, which is about 25 km from here, where you will find shops of all kind. Other towns around Stjärnsund are Långshyttan (about 15km from here), Horndal (also about 15 km), and Avesta (about 45 km).There are also some cities at about 60-70 km from our home, which can be reached by bus, or train. The train from Hedemora to the international airport Arlanda takes about 1,5 hours.
Our village is surrounded by fields and forests, and lies along a beautiful huge lake, called Grycken. There everybody is welcome to either fish, swim or paddle, and in wintertime, you can skate and ski on it depending on the weather. At about 15 km there is a skipiste where you can ski downhill, which is very cheap. We also have a footballground and a minigolf-course here. Canoe´s can be rented cheaply near the lake.
So, that´s us, welcome to Stjärnsund!!
