About Falun
Falun was built around the oldcopper mine, which was operational as early as the 11th century. The mine was an important resource during the years of the Swedish Empire and made Falun Sweden's second largest city around mid-17th century. The mine was depleted by the beginning of the 1990s, and now it has become a tourist attraction and made it to theUNESCO World Heritage List.Stora Kopparberg(now Stora Enso), the mining company, is still active, although nowadays in the forest industry. It claims to be the world's oldest company, having supposedly existed more than a millennium. The Dalarna province is by many considered to be the very essence of Sweden, with Dala Horses (see below) and traditional midsummer festivities. Falun has made some contributions to the Swedish heritage as well. Pr
