Tips

As early as 1800 it was possible to sail past the waterfalls by boat through eight locks (built by Baltzar von Platen). These locks and others from 1844 (built by Nils Ericson) can still be seen today in a park-like area (Gamla Dal'n). However, these two lock systems are out of service.

A rocky trail leads along the historic locks.

Gamle Dal (the old valley)
At the end of the 1800 and 1844 locks you have a beautiful view over the river and the nature around it. The place is a very popular destination, because here you get a particularly strong impression of the beautiful nature around the lock area. There are a variety of signs and plaques providing information about the fantastic area. In order to be able to experience their history up close, there are three walking paths in the waterfall and lock area.
