In Mellerud, practical places to visit range from a bus and train interchange to a museum with local history, a genealogical archive and leisure activities. The cultural and entertainment options also cover quite different interests: you might be interested in exhibitions, stories told aloud, or bowling and billiards. Information about the train station, tourist information point and addresses can help you find your way around Mellerud.
Finding your way when you arrive
Mellerud train station is an interchange for buses and trains. It is a useful landmark when you arrive, but routes and timetables can change, so check the latest times before setting off. A tourist information point is located at the RĂĄdahallen Sport- och FriskvĂĄrdscenter in central Mellerud. The station and information point serve different practical purposes: connecting by bus and train, and finding tourist information in town.
Exact addresses are provided for two places: SparbankSalongen is at Parkgatan 8 in Mellerud. Melleruds Museum o släktforskningsarkiv is at Tingshusgatan 1, 464 23 Mellerud. If you want to visit either of these places, you can use the relevant address to plan your journey.
History, archives and exhibitions
Melleruds Museum displays rooms and objects connected with the history of Mellerud. It also has a large genealogical archive with microfiche from across Dalsland and the surrounding region. These two main features offer different ways to explore the past: the displayed rooms and objects relate to local history, while the archive contains genealogical records covering the wider region. If you are interested in family history, you will find a different subject here than in the historical rooms and objects.
Mellerud’s library also has an exhibition space: Konstrummet. Exhibitions are held there, usually art exhibitions. This makes it thematically different from the museum, whose displayed rooms and objects are connected with Mellerud’s history. SparbankSalongen adds to the cultural venues and has 243 audience seats. Together, these details offer a glimpse of different cultural places without suggesting they all provide the same kind of experience.
Listen to stories and choose a leisure activity
Rådahallens lekplats has a Hans Christian Andersen theme. Visitors can scan QR codes with a smartphone to listen to stories such as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Little Mermaid” in 16 languages. Here, listening to stories is the main activity. The specific fairy-tale theme, the two examples given and the choice of languages can help you decide whether this offering suits your interests.
Mellerud’s bowling alley has five lanes with an automatic scoring system; billiards are also available. This gives you two different games to choose from at the same bowling alley. The number of lanes and the automatic scoring system describe the bowling facilities, while billiards offers another leisure option. Which activity you prefer depends on whether you want to include bowling or billiards in your stay.
