Explore the Halden Canal
The Halden Canal, which is a part of the Halden Watercourse, is one of Norway's finest technical and historical monuments.
By means of the Halden Canal it is possible to travel the 75-kilometre long stretch between Tistedal and the village of Skulerud by boat.
Experience Brekke Locks (at the southern end of the watercourse) - Northern Europe's highest canal lock system. Brekke has four canal lock chambers and a height difference of 26.6 metres.
Join M/S Strømsfoss on an unforgettable adventure on the canal. The boat sails the canal during the summer months.
You can also go for a journey with D/S Turisten. After being raised from the bottom of Lake Femsjøen, and after thousands of hours spent on restoration, the steamship D/S Turisten is ready for service on the Halden Canal.
