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

About 800m towards Falun there is a short stretch of very coarse gravel, which is not easy to ride on with normal bikes.

Runn Runt, always follow the red signs with 200 Runn Runt. The loop around Runn Runt is well-marked. You can expect beautiful views of Runn, two cafes, about 460 meters of elevation gain, and all kinds of paved surfaces, but mostly asphalt. The beautiful Vika Kyrka is worth a visit. Have fun 😉.
