Millstone offense is a nice destination that is located 3 km from Malungs center. This is one of the biggest millstone quarries in Sweden. Millestones have been quarried here for several hundred years.

It is reckoned that at least 30, 000 pairs of millstones were quarried here until the end of the 19th century. The quarry is mentioned for the first time in written sources on a map from 1677/78.

From the 18th century, we also have several accounts of visits to the quarry. The great naturalist Linnaeus was in Malung on 7 August 1734.
