"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/)

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.

Historic hydroelectric power station on Göta ålv

Google 번역•원문 보기

The Olidan power plant was the Swedish state's first hydropower project. The first four turbines went into operation in 1910. Subsequently, construction continued, and from 1914 four more turbines were added. Due to the increasing demand and growing capacities due to the straightening of the Göta Älv, another five turbines were subsequently built. In 1921, the Olidan power plant had a total of 13 turbines, ten of which are still operational today, and three have since been dismantled and "cannibalized". However, today, more than three turbines are rarely in operation at the same time. Each turbine has a capacity of 10 MW.

You get really good (and huge) ice cream here!

When the dam gates in the Göta älv river are opened, up to 300,000 liters of water per second shoot down the 30 meter high rocks. This happens at certain times during the summer months and several times a day during the big city festival in mid-July. The festival is called Fallens Dagar ("the days of the waterfall") and is Sweden's oldest city festival. At all other times it is better to send the precious water through the turbines and produce electricity with it.
