The Vrangfoss five-way lock is a highlight of any trip. Passenger ships pass through it twice a day. There's a café.

The tour from Lunde doesn't follow the Telemark Canal, so it often has quite steep climbs and descents.
Still, overall, a beautiful bike tour... with the Vrangvoss and Eidsfoss locks as highlights.

Vrangfoss Lock is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vrangfoss is the largest lock complex in the Telemark Canal. There are a total of 5 lock chambers with a total height of 23 meters. Vrangfoss got its name because the waterfall was so steep and it was so difficult to transport wood. Before the canal was built, the river passed through a gorge about 2 kilometers long with waterfalls and narrow passages.
A highlight on the Telemark Canal is a nostalgic boat trip on the MS Victoria or the MS Henrik Ibsen.
