Flisa[3] is the administrative centre of Åsnes Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. The village lies at the confluence of the rivers Flisa and Glomma. The Norwegian National Road 2 and the Solørbanen railway line both pass through the village. The village of Kjellmyra is located about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to the south, the village of Sønsterud is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the northeast, and the village of Gjesåsen is about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) to the north. Åsnes Church is located on the west side of the village of Flisa.[4]
The 1.88-square-kilometre (460-acre) village has a population (2024) of 1,771 and a population density of 942 inhabitants per square kilometre (2,440/sq mi).[1] Despite its low population, Flisa is a commercial centre and it has a variety of diverse shops that are located along the town's main street, Kaffegata (English: Coffee Street).
Attractions
[edit | edit source]For some time the log driver statue was the town's only landmark. In recent years however, other attractions have opened such as the world's tallest toothpick since Norway's largest producer of toothpicks is located nearby. In 2003, the Flisa Bridge opened, crossing the Glomma just south of the village. It is the world's longest wooden bridge with a length of 197 metres (646 ft).[4]
In the summer, Flisa is plagued with mosquitoes. They are quite famous throughout Åsnes Municipality and are usually referred to as Flisa Mygg which translates to "Flisa Mosquitoes".
