Around ten kilometers northwest of Linköping is the biggest attraction on the Göta Canal: the Berg locks. They connect the Göta Canal with Lake Roxen.
The Berg facility consists of a double lock ("the Berg locks"), a second double lock ("Oscar's lock") and a lock staircase directly on the Roxen ("Carl Johan's lock staircase").
