18th lock, Dalsland Canal
Bengtsfors
The 18th lock of the Dalsland canal is just north of Billingsfors. The place is probably best known as the most photographed along the canal due to a wonderful little red cottage with very picturesque garden located next to the lock!
Lock chambers: 1
Elevation: 2,4 m
Duration: 10 minutes
After Billingsfors, you’ll pass Kvarnhöljen and then reach Lock 18. After passing the small dam at Kvarnhöljen, you’ll head toward the eastern side of the stream.
If you are lucky, you can see beavers in Dammhöljen, as the small lake between the 18th and 19th lock is called.
