Passenger boats If you’d like to enjoy the canal from a boat deck, try the M/S Bellevue, M/S Sandön or M/S Ceres, which traffic the canal between Sjötorp, Töreboda and Karlsborg.
Feast your eyes on the ancient trees, lovely buildings, peacefully grazing cattle and all the other typical sights of the Swedish countryside. All the passengers gather at the railing at regular intervals to get a front-row view of the lockages.

At the Norrkvarn lock, east of Lyrestad, is a new, exciting adventure land for the whole family, with a restaurant, pub, entertainment on the pier, hotel, hostel, guest harbour, children’s mini canal and other attractions like the unique accommodation in enchanted tree stumps.

Baltzar von Platen Lodge, hotel and hostel
With a total of 70 beds, Norrqvarn is one of the largest accommodation facilities along the canal. The bright, newly renovated rooms are comfortable and attractive,
with the canal right outside your window.

Sleep in an Enchanted Tree Stump
Norrqvarn’s unique Enchanted Tree Stumps offer extraordinary accommodation that’s as fun for grown-ups as it is for kids.

Guest harbour
If you come in your own boat, you can put in at the guest harbour in the heart of the Norrkvarn area.

We offer 6 short-term parking, subject to charge, in our guest harbour. Pre-booking is not possible.
