Mora, the heart of a clock, and Sweden. Following the trail 1209 km to the north of Szczecin, during holiday trip, we arrived at a small town, in the very heart of Sweden, which has 6000 years of history, and opens up another gateway to the knowledge of Scandinavian culture and traditions. Located between two beautiful lakes, Siljan and Orsasjon, in the province of Darna, the town of Mora has survived many turbulent moments over the centuries, which fortunately found their happy endings. Long, long time ago... King Gustaw Waza stopped in the town of Mora to organize a revolt against the Danish army, which had taken Sweden in the 16th century. Furthermore, the infamous witch hunt has been written on the pages of town’s history. It is sad but true that in the 17th century, people associated with witchcraft were usually hunted, and killed. Rumors that the witches of Mora were seducing local children and sacrificing them to the Devil began to spread. During that time, circa 70 witches were sentenced to death and executed. The town of Mora became known throughout Europe because of the famous, Swedish process. Continuing the story, many people lived in the belief that the witches of Mora had cast a spell on the town, which was later affected by the great drought and famine for several years in the 18th century. Due to these bizarre circumstances, many residents abandoned their homes, and fled to Stockholm and the southern part of the country, to seek a better life. To settle in a new place and assimilate, the citizens of Mora tried to acquire new skills in crafting. After many years, when they came back to Mora, they started producing, e. g. knives -- which the town is known for in the entire country till this day -- taps, sewing machines, and clocks. A new era in the history of the town of Mora began -- the period of glory and prosperity. History “repeats itself” The tradition of the world-famous Mora clocks had been initiated by a craftsman, Krang Anders Andersson...
