Lilla Edet Lock

Could just watch the locks all day beautiful surroundings

very nice Place to stay and the live in the canal

Drown yourself NOW!!

Nice summer fun to watch the boats being locked in the lock that comes first when you go up the river from Gothenburg. I was lucky enough to see Juno on her way towards Göta Kanal and eventually Stockholm. There is a lack of parking right by the lock, but a short distance away on the Ström side, there are some parking spaces. There is also Ströms Slott with the summer café park and new nice playground. Further up there is a pizzeria with rights. At the lock there is a guest harbor which is poorly maintained but can still be worth a walk around and look at the boats. If you want to cross the river towards Lilla Edet, there is Sweden's oldest lock.

It seems that this is an area that needs to be signposted and executed more. There is a lot of redevelopment on G which obscures beautiful views, but as I said it will surely be more beautiful when all the redevelopment is finished. Would like to return here again.
