Day Trips
Full- or half-day journeys on the Telemark Canal
Join a full- or half-day journey on the Telemark Canal and experience one of Norway’s most distinctive waterways at a slower pace. Along the way, you pass historic lock systems, open stretches of water and narrower sections where the landscape draws close around the boat.
