In Borensberg, the Göta Canal meets the Motala Ström, creating a picturesque setting where water and history intertwine. This is one of the few sections of the canal without a lock, as the natural flow of the river carries boats gently onward. The spot is particularly charming, with the old lock keeper’s cottage, small bridges, and cafés giving it the feel of a living postcard. Long a gathering place for travelers and locals, Borensberg highlights the harmony between the canal’s engineering and the surrounding landscape. Today, it remains a beloved stop for cyclists, boaters, and visitors exploring the heart of Östergötland.

Impressive moated castle; worth a visit.

With the M/S Kung Sverker, you can take a cruise on Lake Vättern or a day trip on the Göta Canal. For prices, departure times, and further information, I recommend the website: www.kungsverker.se

The Nässja Shipyard is located in Nässja in Vadstena Municipality. The shipyard is part of a larger cemetery on the Nässjö peninsula jutting into Lake Vättern. It was discovered and excavated in 1953.

Have a break

A nice place in front of Borenshult slussar. Coffee, ice cream, burgers (even Vego), etc...

In May, there doesn't seem to be much going on. We were lucky that a ship wanted to bridge the 15m difference in height with the five locks. The wait was worth it!

Beautiful old castle in Renaissance style from the 16th century. It is worth taking a trip inside the castle. Admission is free. More: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Vadstena
