Discover Traditional Swedish Culture
Dalarna is often referred to as the most Swedish of all regions, and for a good reason. It's home to many of the country's traditional customs and folk arts, such as the Dala horse, a hand-painted wooden horse that's become a symbol of Sweden. Visit the Nusnäs village to see how these iconic horses are made and even paint your own.
The region also hosts the annual Midsummer celebration, one of the most important festivities in the Swedish calendar. During this time, locals and visitors alike gather to dance around the maypole, wear traditional costumes, and enjoy traditional Swedish food and music.
Experience Local History
Dalarna's rich history is visible in its well-preserved farms, historical sites, and museums. Visit the Carl Larsson-gården, the home of one of Sweden's most beloved artists, Carl Larsson, and his wife Karin. The house is a testament to their artistic talents and offers a glimpse into their family life.
For a deeper dive into the region's history, visit the Falun Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once the largest copper mine in Europe, it now offers guided tours that take you deep into the mine and tell the story of the miners who worked there.
Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or a culture enthusiast, Dalarna has something to offer. So pack your bags, book a spot at Tängerdalens Camping & cafe, and get ready to discover the heart of Sweden.
