The Mine Side Starting point - Dalarnas Museum

You have now arrived at the starting point of the children's trail, The Mine Side, and you are standing right in the middle of the Falun World Heritage Site! There are places that are so important that they should be preserved for all future generations. They are listed on UNESCO's World Heritage list. Across the world, there are various World Heritage sites - examples include the Pyramids of Egypt and the Great Wall of China.

It's remarkable that we in Falun live in a World Heritage Site. We can take great pride in that. Falun Mine, the town of Falun, and parts of the mining landscape together form the Falun World Heritage Site. Right here is where two routes for children begin and end, taking them through parts of central Falun. You can choose to walk The Fine Side within the town or The Mining Side, up to the mine and back. In the town center, a kitten named Gull-Viva accompanies you. She can leap from one time period to another and understands what people say. On the way up to Falu Mine, you'll be accompanied by Uven, a wise bird that knows nearly everything. Uven: - Did you know that I am the provincial animal of Dalarna? - Hi! My name is Brita, and over there is Erik. We live in Elsborg with our family. It's a neighborhood where the miners used to live. We resided there a long, long time ago. In the past, simply put. During that time, Falu Mine was a significant and vital workplace. Dad works underground in the mine as a miner's assistant, and Mom has just had a new baby. Now we are a family of seven siblings. Do you have any siblings? Would you like to join us for one or two rounds? There's so much to discover here.
