Welcome to Gagnef

In Gagnef, the rivers wind through the historic countryside with its fields, forests, pastures, clusters of red-painted houses and villages. At Djurås, the fast-flowing river Västerdalälven and the tranquil river Österdalälven flow into the mighty river Dalälven. Here, white-water rafting draws adventurous visitors to Fänforsen and Käringforsen.

Gagnef is also a municipality with strong traditions, such as textile crafts and folk music. You will also find two of Sweden's last floating bridges here, a beautiful hallmark of the area. And don't miss the beloved Komidsommar festival in Dala-Floda, known as Midsummer's afterparty it traditionally marks the middle of the summer pasture.
