The county of Dalarna represents all that is Swedish par excellence, from its brightly coloured costumes to its lively dancing and music, always with its magnificent rural landscape as a backdrop. Nowadays, Dalarna's folk traditions draw in many visitors. Its traditional villages are well preserved, such as Falun, with its former copper mine, and Leksand, with its extraordinary Dalarna folk paintings and rustic art. Visitors can also admire Dalhalla, a remarkable natural amphitheatre in an old limestone quarry.
