Historic, no longer operational lock system of the Göta Canal in Trollhättan.

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.

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.

Trollhättan is worth a day trip anyway due to the huge lock area from 1800. Wonderful hike from the campsite Stenrösets Camping (approx. 6km). You can see the old locks, but also new locks that are still in use today.

A rocky trail leads along the historic locks.

A gigantic spectacle when the locks open just a little at 3 p.m. and the masses of water pour roaring through the gorge. Worth it a) Being on time: It's all over in less than 10 minutes. And b) visit one of the viewpoints that can only be reached on foot via the hiking trail on the east side above the gorge. From there you have a magnificent view of the spectacle.
