Provinces serve no administrative function in Sweden today. Instead, that function is served by the counties of Sweden. However, Dalarna has virtually the same boundaries as the corresponding Dalarna County, except for a part of the north-east (Hamra parish, also known as Orsa Finnmark) which is part of Ljusdal Municipality, Gävleborg County.
Geography
The geography is distinguished by lake Siljan in the middle part, and the Västerdal River and Österdal River that join into the Dal River.
The northern part of the province are within the Scandinavian mountain range, and are mountainous with many lakes. The southern part consists of plains, with several mines, most notably copper, traditionally forming part of Bergslagen.
Highest point is Storvätteshågna with 1,204 meters. Lowest point is at 55 meters, in the south-east part.
