Dalarna County

Dalarna County stretches across 28,188 square kilometers of central Sweden, featuring forests, lakes, and mountains between Uppsala and Norwegian borders.

The territory transformed from Kopparbergs län to Dalarna County in 1997, marking a significant change from its copper mining heritage established in 1634.

The region maintains Swedish traditions through folk music performances, local crafts production, and seasonal festivals that draw participants from across the country.

Falun serves as the administrative center, housing government offices, Dalarna University, and transportation connections to other Swedish municipalities.

The Falu copper mine operated continuously from the 13th century until 1992, producing minerals that influenced Swedish industrial development for centuries.
