Experiences

The Halden Canal is the oldest of the two canals in Norway. This exciting waterway with Northern Europe's highest continuous lock staircase - Brekke locks, stretches from Skulerud in the north to Tistedal in the south, almost 8 miles.

 

The Halden Canal is a special cultural monument, and in recent years the canal has been put in good condition so that you can now travel from north to south, passing through three lock sites and five lakes on the way. There are many great experiences in and along the canal. Here you can paddle or drive a boat through idyllic lakes and impressive lock systems - in a beautiful landscape with many interesting cultural monuments. And here you can swim, fish, eat, experience art and culture, live and experience the beautiful nature!

​

In the Haldenkanalen you can also experience Europe's longest suspension bridge in a Via Ferrata. A 124.3 m long suspension bridge 15 meters above the Haldenkanalen at Brekke locks, an exciting climbing trail and a 250m long zipline are just some of what awaits you in the Via Ferrata Haldenkanalen this summer. The facility is suitable for children aged 10 and up, so the whole family can have fun together!
