Göta Kanal (Sweden) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Modern time wonder Gota Kanal in Sweden.
Gothenburg is Sweden’s second largest seaport and is located on the west coast and is the country’s military and economic Gateway To The World whose rapid prosperity came when the city’s merchants created their own East India Company in true Dutch style. We are going on a journey on the Göta Canal that travels from Gothenburg to Stockholm and is Sweden’s construction of the millennium, connecting the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. After crossing Lake Vättern we reach Borenshult, an important section of the canal with five lock chambers and a height of almost sixteen metres to overcome. This lock brings the history of the Göta Canal back to life, deep down below Lake Boren, and the joining together of the great lakes, Vänern and Vättern. We arrive at Heda where fifteen lock chambers follow and where we are able to disembark and walk along the canal among the wonderful natural landscape. Next the most spectacular section of the entire canal awaits us, the Carl Johann Lock, near to the small town of Berg with seven interconnecting locks that lead downwards, one after the other to Lake Roxen. Finally, Stockholm, the ‘Venice Of The North’. The Göta Kanal is a unique project that originally had a military purpose but which eventually was vital for Sweden’s trade and industry. A cultural heritage that ranks as one of the most famous engineering projects in the world.

Cruise on the Göta Canal
The Göta Canal is one of the most remarkable waterways in the world and one of the communication links between Sweden's two largest cities. The canal itself is 190 km long, most of it dug out by hand. Between 1810 and 1832 some 58 000 soldiers removed 300 000 cubic metres of rock and earth in order to create the three-metre deep and app. 14-metre wide canal. The construction foreman and certainly the one who promoted the project most strongly was Baltzar von Platen.

On the Gota Canal in Sweden, the Kindbom family have since 1915 met every ship that passes through the lock at Forsvik; singing hymns, blessing the passengers and giving them bouquets of flowers.

Gota Kanal Swedish Historical Cruising
This trip aboard the Diana in Sweden was a huge surprise! I knew nothing about the man-made series of canals that connect Gothenborg to Stockholm, and the unique steamship company that still operates it's vessels between the two cities. This was truly a journey back-in-time aboard the Diana with Gota Kanal Steamship Company. For those in the U.S. inquire about planning your own journey with the Gota Kanal Steamship Company by contacting Borton Overseas bortonoverseas.com located in my backyard in Minneapolis.
