The Rödesund Bridge, spanning the Göta Canal at Karlsborg, is one of the most iconic crossings along the waterway. Built in 1931, it replaced earlier wooden bridges and provided a stronger, more reliable connection between the shores of Lake Vättern and the town. Designed as a bascule bridge, it lifts to allow boats and sailing vessels to pass, creating a unique meeting point between road traffic and canal life. With its elegant structure and scenic setting, the bridge is not only a piece of functional infrastructure but also a symbol of the canal’s living heritage. Today, watching it open for passing boats remains a charming spectacle for both travelers and locals.

This is a large country style church and worth a visit. Not far from here there is another interesting little forest chapel about 4 km north of Undernäs.

Gigantic road bridge. Technical highlight. Please note opening times.

Along the Strandvägen promenade you have a beautiful view of Karlsborgviken. There are a few benches where you can take a break.

A beautiful little ensemble has formed around the intersection of the Göta Canal and the road, and there's always something going on at the lock. Furthermore, Sweden's oldest iron bridge, the old bascule bridge over the canal, is located here.
