"Crazy shopping Charlottenberg" Charlottenberg by georeiser

Charlottenberg is a cosy little Swedish town in Eda Municipality in Värmland County, close to the border of Norway. The town is most known for uncharming Norwegians on cross-border shopping. The outskirts of the town is the worst example of ugly architecture. Large shopping malls and advertising signs make the landscape look terrible.
Charlottenberg benefits greatly from the border trade encouraged by the difference in retail prices between Norway and Sweden. Alcohol, meat and confectionery are sold in large quantities. Although Charlottenberg has become more expensive than comparative places in Sweden.

The population in Charlottenberg is around 3,000 people. The town has a railway station, which is the last station in Sweden before the Norwegian border.
