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.

Het schilderachtige plaatsje Marstrand in Zweden
Marstrand (aan zee en op een eilandje) ligt ten noord westen van Götenborg.
Een leuk dagtochtje. Aan de rand van het stadje dien je je auto
te parkeren. Marstrand zelf is alleen per pont te bereiken.
De voornamelijk uit hout opgetrokken huizen zijn leuk geschilderd.
verder een grillige rotskust met prachtige vergezichten.
Er is ook nog een kasteel - carlstens castle - niet bezocht...

My nephew and I ran top the top of a high rock overlooking the town where I live in Sweden. Had a fun time making silly clips.
