Bergs Slussar (The sluices in Berg)

Bergs slussar is one of the greatest landmarks on Göta kanal, a chanel that floats near Linköping. Here thousands of people come every year to see the boats pass by. The chanel was dug mostly for one purpose, to transport goods across the country. On the places where it, according to the laws of nature, would have been a waterfall, these sluices were made to let boats go up and down streams. While passing passing the seven steps you are either lifted or lowered a staggering 19 meters, depending on the direction in which you are traveling. In the area you will find loads of other things that you can do, when you have seen enough boats for the day. Among those there are resturants, cafes, bike rentals, mini golf and bathing, outside. From here you can aslo take a trip on the channel, on the boat M/S Wasa Lejon, which makes daily trips during the summer season.
