March 24, 2025, Surahammar Lock on the Strömsholm Canal

Surahammar's locking system, along the Strömsholm Canal, is a must-see. The locks, part of the historic waterway, offer scenic views and it's a perfect spot for a break, watching boats navigate the old system.

This impressive lock gate is built with solid stone walls & wooden gates. It has quite the drop, so take care not to fall in.

A quiet and remote wilderness shelter, complete with a fire pit. Perfect spot to stop for some lunch and a rest.
