Several trapping pits, Sconces, and a copper hammer have been found.〔http://www.fmis.raa.se/cocoon/fornsok/search.html?parish=2552&tab=2&page=1〕 During the Kalmar War between Denmark (and Norway) and Sweden, Sweden sent armies into Jämtland and established forts in several towns to stop advancing Norwegian/Danish armies. Among those towns to house forts were Mörsil, Frösön and Järpen.〔http://www.jamthistoria.se/Krig/krig.htm〕 Sweden’s first sanatorium was opened in Mörsil in 1891. It was established in German fashion and consisted of several buildings including a main building, a bath house, and a physician’s house. The sanatorium treated tuberculosis and part of its treatment regime involved taking walks through the surrounding mountains.〔http://www.ksla.se/anh/files/2013/08/Parken-kring-M%C3%B6rsils-sanatorium.pdf〕 The region of Jämtland, which includes Mörsil, were important for health-related tourism because of the many hospitals in the region. At the turn of the 20th century the town was known for its spas and early industrialization. Population of the town increased during the mid-20th century partially due to the industry in Mörsil at the time. By 1965 the population was over 900 residents. However, by the 1970s the factories closed and the population diminished. In 1974 the town was amalgamated into Åre municipality. European Highway 14 runs through Mörsil. Since winter 2012 Mörsil has had a railway stop on the route between Sundsvall, Sweden and Trondheim, Norway. It is located on Kallsjön. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mörsil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
