Trollhättan Waterfalls and Crown Bridge

Highlight • Waterfall

Trollhättan was founded on the Göta Älv river at the foot of the mighty Trollhättan Waterfalls. The area around the waterfall, with its crown bridge and locks, offers exciting experiences for young and old. During the summer months, the gates are opened at specific times, and the water thunders down the valley.

Suspension Bridge Over the Göta Älv (Pilgrimsleden, Olidan Power Station View)

Highlight • Bridge

A beautiful suspension bridge overlooking the Olidan hydroelectric power station in Trollhättan. Around the bridge are fantastic hiking trails along the river.

View of the Old Lower Lock Chambers, Trollhättan

Highlight • Monument

You can still marvel at three generations of locks in Trollhättan today. The first locks were built into the rock between 1793 and 1800. At that time they were considered the 8th wonder of the world. As early as 1832, however, these locks were too small, as the Göta Canal, which had now opened, was designed for ships up to 7 m wide and 30 m long. This is why the “middle” locks were built by 1844, exactly the same type and size as those of the Göta Canal. They consist of 2 lower, 4 middle and 3 upper lock chambers. Both lock stairs can still be seen, but the driveways are partially walled up and can no longer be passed. Wikipedia

View of the Upper Lock Gates, Trollhättan Locks

Highlight • Monument

The current locks for ships up to 88 m in length were opened in 1916. They run south of the lock staircase from 1844. The lock staircase consists of 3 lower and one upper chambers, which are separated by a small artificial lake, which still comes from the lock staircase from 1844.

Trollhätte Canal 1916 Lock Staircase

Highlight • Monument

The staircase of locks in use today is from 1916. Thousands of pleasure boats and cargo ships pass through it every year. At the top lock is a canal museum.

Gamle Dal and Old Locks of 1800

Highlight • Monument

As early as 1800 it was possible to sail past the waterfalls by boat through eight locks (built by Baltzar von Platen). These locks and others from 1844 (built by Nils Ericson) can still be seen today in a park-like area (Gamla Dal'n). However, these two lock systems are out of service.
