Day 1
Töreboda - Sjötorp - Töreboda (boat trip about 5 hours)
Today is the time to experience Sweden's largest construction project from one of the historic canal boats M/S Bellevue. The boat departs from Töreboda at 10.30 and ends in Sjötorp, where the Göta canal flows into Lake Vänern. The first locks in Hajstorp are soon passed and a total of 16 locks are passed on the way to Sjötorp. Thanks to the canal, Sjötorp's community has grown up and here there are no less than 8 locks. With the help of the locks, the canal rises 20 meters above Lake Vänern's surface. Göt a canal flows through a forest landscape out onto open land, where it is often at a higher level than the surrounding fields. Leafy avenues are planted on the side embankments, which contributes to the canal district's unique landscape. During the boat cruise on M/S Bellevue, lunch is served while the captain guides you through the history and natural experiences of Göta Kanal. The boat moves forward at a speed of 5 knots, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy one of Sweden's most famous buildings.
