Tisken is a cozy little city lake right in the heart of Falun, quietly connected to the surrounding lakes and rivers. It’s a lovely spot to wander, enjoy the views, or catch a beautiful sunset.

Stop by Café Slussvaktar’n for a bite, a coffee, or just to soak in the maritime vibes. You’ll find some benches along the waterfron, perfect for a little chill time before you start your walk.

Copper mining at Tiskasjöberg (Stora Kopparberget) likely began in the 9th century and has been documented since the 13th century. The mine's heyday was in the 17th century, when the Falun mine accounted for two-thirds of the world's copper production. But it wasn't just copper that was extracted; at that time, the mine was also Sweden's largest gold and second-largest silver producer. Because mining was conducted rather haphazardly, cave-ins occurred repeatedly. In 1687, a large part of the mine collapsed. Fortunately, this happened right on Midsummer, one of Sweden's biggest festivals, so no one was killed. The Stora Stöten mine is now 95 meters deep and 350 meters wide. Source: Wikipedia

The tour is well worth it. But beware, it's quite cold down there!
