Glödhål

Glödhål is a place name used for several small localities in Sweden. Because it refers to more than one site, the exact geographic context depends on the municipality and county in which a given Glödhål lies. The name is of Swedish origin, combining glöd meaning “glow” or “ember” and hål meaning “hole” or “hollow,” a common pattern in rural toponyms that describe a physical feature such as a hollow or pit.

Geography and demographics: Localities named Glödhål are typically rural, with landscapes consisting of farmland, mixed forests, and scattered housing. They generally have small populations, and precise demographic data are not always published separately from the wider parish or municipality.

History: The settlements often developed in connection with agriculture and forestry, expanding in the 19th and early 20th centuries as rural populations reorganized and modernized. In many cases Glödhål today serves as a residential or agricultural community rather than an independent economic center.

Economy and transport: The local economy tends toward farming, forestry, and small-scale services within the broader municipality. Residents usually rely on nearby towns for shopping, education, and healthcare. Access comes via regional roads, with public transit available mainly in larger centers.

Notable features: There are no widely documented landmarks shared by all places named Glödhål; individual sites may have their own local points of interest.
