Göta Canal Charter

Plan your canal experience

Göta Canal stretches between Mem at the Baltic Sea to Sjötorp in lake Vänern. The canal’s entire length is 190 km, of which 87 km are dug by hand. The canal with 58 locks connects the natural lake system. After the lake Vänern the canal system continues with Trollhätte canal and Göta River to Gothenburg, which all together creates a beautiful waterway between Sweden’s east and west coast. From Lake Roxen in Linköping and southwards you will find the scenic Kinda canal and the lake system for about 80 km in the region Östergötland.
