Strong and wonderful Dalarna

From the beginning Dalarna is the mining province of Sweden. In small pits iron, copper, silver and gold was won. The traces of this era can still befound in the small cities, abandoned mines, mideaval kilns and smithes and an extended web of small railways. Tolvsbo, in this era, was a ‘Bergsmansgård’, a manor for the rich Bergman who besides managing a wealthy farm also owned a share in one of the kilns in the neighbourhood.

Now the sound of hammers has silenced

Nowadays Dalarna is a prosperous and diverse touristic province where forests and acres are beaded with beautiful lakes and characteristic red wooden houses. Dalarna is the land of Carl Larsson where troll, fairies and elves share the quiet and space with elks, wolves, bears and lynxes.
