Dala-Floda is a small village, with a few shops and a reasonably sized park.
Measuring 158 meters in length, the Kyrkbron bridge in Dala-Floda is recognized as Sweden's longest wooden suspension bridge. Erected in 1922 as a replacement for a log bridge lost to the 1916 flood, the wooden structure was later destroyed by fire in 1980. It was, however, re-established and formally inaugurated by the royal couple on May 18, 1983.[2]
