Göta Kanal (Sweden) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Göta Kanal in Sweden.
The Göta Canal is Sweden's construction of the millennium and connects Kattegatt on the west coast with the east coast of the Baltic Sea, and is the main waterway through Sweden, from Gothenburg to Stockholm. Gothenburg is a seaport that was founded in 1621 and on Packhus Quay, close to both the Maritime Centre and the Opera, the Wilhelm Tham on which we shall travel across Sweden, awaits us. Shortly before Trollhättan our first adventure begins as the boat ascends within a masterpiece of canal design. Over a short distance, six lock systems built in a row overcome a height difference of forty four metres. One lock after the other opens up, and the inflow of water raises the boat to the next level. Our journey leads into the Bottensjön that is connected to Lake Vättern until we finally arrive at the port of Karlsborg. Behind the walls of Karlsborg Fortress are barracks, various buildings and a church. A truly massive structure, built in 1809 after Sweden had lost Finland to Russia. At Berg the captain skilfully steers the boat into the Carl Johans locks. Our descent is complete and we continue on the long drawn-out Lake Roxen. Again, a natural body of water forms part of the eastern Göta Canal, a remnant of the Ice Age, thirty three metres above sea level. The crossing of southern Sweden has only been made possible due to the construction of the Göta Canal, an amazing waterway with sixty six locks and countless bridges.

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.

Trollhatten & Göta Canal
This is a gathering of clips and images from our 2012 trip through the Trollhatten - Gothenburg Kanal Trip. We set out from our home town, Stavanger, and made our way to Kristiansand on the South of Norway, and directly crossed through the North Sea to Gothenburg. The trip took roughly a month, and we hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed ourselves during it.
The reason I have edited all these clips from 2012 now, is to use it as an introduction to our 2014 summers big trip, starting from Stavanger, ending in Turkey, where the boat will be moored from now on. The trip will take us through canals in Europe, as well as coasts of the Mediterranean sea. A detailed trip plan is at the end of these video. Based on the views and subscriptions we will record and upload this trip simultaneously, and may release some instructional videos on how to prepare for a trip like this, what gear to bring, and how we tackle challenges as we encounter them. Feel free to let us know in the comments if this is something you would be interested in.
I own the video but song's rights are their respective owners. No infringment intended.
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.
The Göta Canal is a Swedish Canal Constructed in the Early 19th Century
The Göta Canal (Swedish: Göta kanal) is a Swedish canal constructed in the early 19th century. It formed the backbone of a waterway stretching some 614 km (382 mi), linking a number of lakes and rivers to provide a route from Gothenburg on the west coast to Söderköping on the Baltic Sea via the river Göta älv and the Trollhätte kanal, through the large lakes Vänern and Vättern.

Close Quarters Operation in the Gota Canal (MV Dirona Channel)
The Gota Canal locks in Sweden are full of close quarters operation and most boats are well-fendered, but its impossible to have enough fenders to avoid all possibilities of contact. In this video, you can see the rafted boats in front of us having some trouble maneuvering, and fending off to avoid contact with our boat Dirona. We don't think any damage was taken here, but this is one of the reasons why boats tend to pick up small nicks and dings even if the operators are careful to avoid contact.
Göta Canal sightseeing 2014 in Sweden.
Bike trip along the Göta Canal in Sweden heading for Sjötorp on 9 July 2014 with a view to the greatest European lake The Vänern.
At min. 1.30 I almost was bitten by an insect during my ride, so I had to stop in the middle of my recording and vipe the beast away, and at the end of the video I say some rubbish about the Vättern. What you see is of course the lake Vänern at Sjötorp from where you can sail to Vänersborg/Trollhättan and the Göta älv :)

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.
Göta kanal eller Vem drog ur proppen? - Trailer
En stenrik man från mellanöstern vill lägga en stororder på 1000 svenska motorbåtar. Dock lider han av beslutsångest, och utlyser därför en tävling mellan två båtar genom Göta kanal. Den båt som kommer först till Göteborg får kontraktet. Tävlingen står mellan det stora, nästan multinationella företaget Uniship och Anderssons båtvarv. En fullständigt vansinnig jakt genom kanalen påbörjas. Och i Göteborg står Prins Kahlifa bin Hircham al Saba med en fet check.
