Falu coppermine museum and other Falun, Sweden Things to Do Tips

This is a fascinating museum!
The coppermine was used until 10 years ago and had been that for several hundred years and is now a World Heritage Museum well worth a visit.
You can go 60 meters down on a guided tour and there's a museum about the mine on ground level.
There's also a café and a shop where there's alot of handicrafts to buy.
If you have the interest count on a half day for this experience.

This is a typical swedish work 35 km east of Falun. It contains of a few industrial constructions from the times when a few works in the area supplied the big coppermine in Falun with tools and other things.
Unfortunately there's no information whatsover there if it's not open and open it is only in july and august. It's not a big area so an hour is enough to see everything.

Gamla (old) Staberg is a flourishing mine-owner's estate near Falun and is one of the best preserved in the area.
There are timberbuildings from the 17th century and a newly restored baroque garden.
Very nice indeed!
