Motala Harbor

Highlight • Structure

The small but beautiful harbor of Motala is located right next to the Motor Museum, a restaurant, and a hotel. There's always something going on and something to admire here.

Borenshult Locks

Highlight • Monument

In May, there doesn't seem to be much going on. We were lucky that a ship wanted to bridge the 15m difference in height with the five locks. The wait was worth it!
