    The Dalsland Canal

    Through Dalsland and southern Värmland

    Photographer: Roger Borgelid, westsweden.com

Considered one of the most beautiful waterways in Europe

In front of you is 260 km of fairway through a large scenic lake system that forms the Dalsland canal, from Köpmannebro in the south to Östervallsskog in the north. Welcome to the area with the most lakes in Sweden. A labyrinth of large and small lakes, rivers and idyllic, winding canal stretches. Only 12 km is dug or blasted canal. The rest is 240 km long navigable lake system without crowding - just beautiful nature.
