Nusnäs, a charming village just outside Mora, is the heart of Dala horse production. Here, you can visit workshops like Nils Olsson and Grannas where skilled craftspeople hand-carve and paint the iconic red horses. The process, passed down through generations, involves intricate woodworking and decorative folk art. Strolling through the village, you'll see horses in various stages of creation and can purchase authentic souvenirs directly from the source.
