It is said that King Karl XII was passing by here, probably on its way to Norway. Here is a hotel named after him.

When it starts raining, I'm finding out that my train back is canceled. Instead a replacement bus is on its way, or actually, it is a minibus with few passengers.

After negotiations with the driver, I manage to make him drive me to Mellerud instead of Öxnered in order to make it for my next train. I arrive to Mellerud seeing the train coming.
