Dalarna County

Dalarna County is renowned in Sweden for the hand-carved and brightly painted Dala horse, a folk symbol closely tied to the region. Its terrain runs from the forests of Bergslagen towards mountains on the Norwegian border, while the Dalälven River and Lake Siljan shape much of its geography. Falun, the county seat, developed around the historic Falun Copper Mine, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Midsummer traditions, regional dress and red-painted timber houses remain strong markers of local identity, particularly around Siljan.
