Falu Mine — Attraction in Falu kommun

We first visited in April 2022 but that was a brief visit(only the mine tour), we merely took a glance at the museum. We were quite impressed even during that short visit, and decided to revisit.

Today, we spent an entire day there: Reached early(0950), and viewed the sites like Creutz shaft, hoist, etc. Visited the museum, viewed partially but thoroughly. Lunch at the cafe. We avoided the restaurant this time as the menu didn't suit us but based on our 2022 visit, I would say the restaurant is decent and reliable. Guided tour in English at 1330. We actually had booked a Swedish tour as the English one at 1200 was full. During our interaction with reception, they informed us that there would be an additional English tour at 1330 due several visitors. Revisited and covered the remaining part of the museum. Left around 1600.

The museum is the best part, followed by the 1h guided tour. They have taken utmost efforts to provide information on English. The guides and the staff provided some interesting information apart from the tour as well. The kids also enjoyed a lot.

Overall, it is a must-visit sight if you are in Sweden even for a...

Falun Mine Museum: is a former copper mine, on which was mined as much as two thirds of Europe's copper needs, and it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Archaeological and geological researches have shown that a work on the mine began between the years 850 and 1080. The first privileges, the copper mine was given from the King Magnus III in 1347. The production peak occurred around 1650. The intense breaking resulted in the great fall on 25 June 1687. A large part of the mine collapsed and formed the giant Great Pit, which is 1.6 kilometers in circumference and 95 meters deep. The Museum displays the history of mining of Falun Mine, including the production of minerals, models of machinery, tools, and the people in the mine.
