Lock Cruise Ulefoss
Through the locks to Dalen
This package takes you through some of the most characteristic stretches of the Telemark Canal, from Ulefoss and further inland towards Dalen.
The journey follows the historic waterway through lock systems, narrow river passages and open lakes, while the landscape gradually changes along the route. Here, the Telemark Canal can be experienced at a slower pace, close to both nature and the craftsmanship that still defines the locks more than a hundred years after they first opened.
Upon arrival in Dalen, the stay continues with dinner at Restaurant Bandak, time in the historic lounges and an evening shaped by the atmosphere of the hotel.
