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

"Syrian Horse" is a five-meter-tall iron horse by the artist Mohannad Solaiman. It is made of 6 mm thick iron wire, which has acquired a red hue due to rust, and weighs 500 kg. One might think the sculpture represents freedom from its context, but for Mohannad, it means more. Its message, despite its name, is more universal. It touches on the human quest to realize dreams, to keep one's eyes on the horizon, and to find new paths when the old ones are destroyed. He explains why the horse was chosen as the motif: - The horse as a symbol has many meanings. It has been a friend of mankind throughout history and is associated with values such as authenticity, nobility, and power. (see: https://www.vastsverige.com/uddevalla/produkter/syriska-hasten/)

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.

The sculpture can be seen from all sides and from afar. Depending on the weather, it seems to literally merge with the sky ❤️

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.
