I havent really looked into this place so i do not know much about it. Time was too short as well.
Falun has become big because of the silvermines that lay nearby.

Hi, great start - hope you get there again! It is in fact a copper mine rather than silver mine and a World Heritage :)

Hi! It would be nice to read more about your memories in Falun. I'm gonna move to study to Falun next Autumn and it's sad that there's just few lines about it here in VT. Maybe you can help=)
