The most famous souvenir and symbol of Sweden is the Dala horse (Dalahäst) and is made by hand in the small, idyllic village of Nusnäs. Nusnäs is located about 10 km east of Mora in the Swedish province of Dalarna, right on the beautiful Lake Siljan. Here, in the workshops of Grannas Olsson Hemslöjd, you can watch the Swedish Dalahäst being made from scratch, from the rough cut to the carving and the typical painting. The Dala horse is still made entirely by hand today.

People used to use them to go to church in Rättvik. The church boats are rowed by up to 20 people. There are real racing versions of these boats, which are used in competitions on the lake in the summer. The competitions on the lake have a long tradition. In the past, it was probably simply an advantage to be able to row quickly: whoever got to the church first could choose their place.
