Morokulien
Morokulien is a {{convert|6|ha|adj=on}} area on the border between Eidskog Municipality, Norway, and Eda Municipality, Sweden. The name Morokulien was coined in the radio program "Över alla gränser" sent from Morokulien in 1959 and has since stuck. It is made up from the Norwegian and the Swedish words for "fun" (moro and kul, respectively).
History
Amateur radio station
In 1968 Swedish and Norwegian radio amateurs decided to start an amateur radio station in a cottage on the border between Sweden and Norway. Unusually, it had both a Swedish (SJ9WL) and a Norwegian (LG5LG) call sign. The station is open for rent to all radio amateurs with an amateur radio license.
Local tourist office
The local tourist office is on the border between Norway and Sweden. The borderline divides it in two; the borderline has been marked on the roof and the floor. The border can be crossed without a passport.
