On a college trip to Sweden, we were sent to attend a conference at the Dalarna University in Borlänge. The fact that it was 4 hours away from Stockholm and the lack of exciting side activities in the immediate vicinity, made us call this city "Boring-länge" in no time! However, there were a couple of good things to see and do, particularly in the beautiful area of Lake Siljan.
