Mora, Municipality seat in Dalarna County, Sweden
The municipality stretches between Lake Siljan and Lake Orsasjön at 155 meters elevation, where the Österdal River enters the sixth largest lake in Sweden.
In 1520, Gustav Vasa gathered support from Mora citizens for a rebellion against Danish troops, leading to the overthrow of Danish control and his installation as king.
The municipality maintains strong craftsmanship traditions through the production of wooden Dala horses and high-grade steel knives, which represent regional manufacturing excellence.
The central station connects to Stockholm through the Dalabanan railway line, with trains covering the distance in approximately four hours.
The municipality hosts Vasaloppet, an extensive cross-country skiing competition that draws 16,000 participants annually to commemorate Gustav Vasa's historical journey.
