Hiking

The Göta Canal has 58 locks. None of them are the same, they all have their own unique charm. The lock staircase in Berg is the most famous.

Hiking

Bergs Slussar is the largest lock staircase of the Göta Canal and at the same time one of the most famous technical structures in Sweden. The imposing, almost one kilometer-long lock system is a well-visited attraction in the small village of Berg am See Roxen, about 10 kilometers north of Linköping.

Hiking

Here boats are lifted a total of 18.8m via 7 locks in order to pass the Göta Canal from Lake Roxen. There are only gravel paths on both sides, but you should also take a look at the building from below (Roxen Lake).
