Safety precautions due to high flowing water in the canal

The extensive rainfall has brought strong flowing water in several places along the Dalsland canal. The following measures have been taken to guarantee the safety in the canal:

Töcksfors lock
Both locks in Töcksfors will be kept closed until the situation normalizes. Lock guard is on site to help and inform.

Buterud lock
We advise canoeists not to go through Buterud lock and boats going south are advised to have clear speed at the entrance to Buterud lock station.

This has also affected the routes of the tour boats, which can lead to queues, especially in Håverud and Dals Långed.

Other locks and passages are currently not affected and can be used as usual.
