The mining trip takes one hour and feel free to count on another couple of hours for the discovery trip above ground. Here is the Mining Museum which tells the story of the mine from the Viking Age until 2001 when the site was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Eriksson's cottage is open for visits, here you will meet a miner's family from the 19th century.

Falu Gruva's long history can just as well be experienced above ground. Visit the Mining Museum with interactive exhibitions for all ages, look at the miner's family in Eriksson's cottage and walk the mining promenade around the open pit Stora Stöten. Here Dalarna's landscape animals nest the mountain owl - with the binoculars by the lookout tower you can get a glimpse of its habitat. Around the open pit are a number of historic buildings, such as lichens, laundries and gaming houses, preserved. Learn more about them with the interactive guiding that is this summer's news at the mine.
