Turistinformation Arvika #17

Se #1 for information om serien / See #1 for information on this series

Innan Arvika etablerades som ett större samhälle fanns det många småorter i den nuvarande kommunen med små och stora bruk som etablerades på 1700-talet och början av 1800-talet. Det var järnbruk, kopparbruk, glasbruk, pappersbruk och träsliperier. På västra sidan av Glafsfjorden fanns ett stort glasbruk som i sin storhetstid tidigt på 1900-talet producerade ca 40% av Sveriges produktion av fönsterglas – munblåst glas! Transportbehovet var så stort att en egen järnväg byggdes från bruket och ner till Glafsfjorden. Glasbruket lades ner i 1939, men har i dag ett levande bruksmuseum med mycket aktivitet på sommaren. Området är också känt för ett skifferbrott och i nyare tid även solcellefabrik.

Fråga #17: Vad heter orten? (5 bokstäver)

Before Arvika was established as a town, there were many small villages in the current municipality with small and large mills that were established in the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. There were iron mills, copper mills, glass mills, paper mills and woodworks. On the western side of the lake Glafsfjorden there was a large glass mill which, in its heyday in the early 20th century, produced approx. 40% of Sweden's production of window glass – mouth-blown glass! The need for transport demanded building railway from the mill down to the lake. The glass mill was closed in 1939, but today there is museum with lots of activity in the summer. The area is also known for a slate quarry and more recently also a solar cell factory.
