While in Dalarna Province in central Sweden, don't miss a tour of a factory that makes the red  Dalarna Horse (sometimes in black or white). Visitors to IKEA stores in the US will immediately recognize this red wooden horse as a symbol of Sweden even though it originated as a symbol of Dalarna.   The factory we visited was in Nusnäs just SE of Mora.  The tour takes you through every step of the process from cutting rough figure on a bandsaw, to hand-carving, to painting the red body, to hand painting the intricate designs.  And, of course, the tour ends with a visit to the well-stocked gift shop.
