베테른 최고의 러닝 경로

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.

Modern corner with beautiful seating right by the water

A short hike to explore and then a swim to finish off.

We waited a bit to see the bridge in action and were lucky. Later, we broadcast an announcement indicating when the bridge would open for ships.

Large picnic area right beside the lake. A great place to stop, rest your legs and enjoy the view.

Great for a chill break on a beautiful hike or as a reward after.

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

One of two bridges on the road Norra vägen, which is the water connection from Bottenjön to Karlsburgviken. There is a beautiful view of the lakes along the road.
