Borlänge
Lake Runn defines the setting of Borlänge — broad water, low rocky islets and forest-lined shores give this part of Dalarna a distinctly lacustrine character. Runn lies in a region where lakes and forests are central to both the landscape and outdoor life. Its irregular shoreline forms sheltered inlets beside wider expanses of water, while small islands and exposed rock break up the surface. Borlänge is known as one of central Sweden’s industrial centres, with steelmaking central to its modern development; Lake Runn provides a quieter counterpart beyond the urban core. Dalarna is also associated with the hand-carved and painted Dala horse, one of Sweden’s best-known folk symbols.
