Orsa Municipality (Swedish: Orsa kommun) is a municipality in Dalarna County in central Sweden. Its seat is located in the town of Orsa.
Orsa is one of a few municipalities in Sweden which has not been amalgamated, but retains its area from the time it was instituted as a municipal entity in 1863.
Geography
[edit | edit source]The town of Orsa is located on the north-eastern shore of the 53 square kilometres (20 sq mi) large Lake Orsa (Orsasjön). Through a southern water passage it is connected with one of Sweden's largest lakes: Siljan.
By the shores of Orsasjön the Orsa Camping was inaugurated in 1932. With a kilometer long sandy beach, it has received several awards for its quality and beauty, and is by some referred to as the Dalarna Riviera.
Nature sights include the Grönklitt mountain, that previously housed a notable bear park and skiing hill. The bear park was an enclosed area where not only bears but also wolves, lynx, siberian tigers and wolverines reside, and was the biggest bear park in northern Europe.
