Experience the Halden Canal

Let the waterway guide you through idyllic lakes, impressive lock systems and beautiful cultural landscapes.

Exciting experiences in a living cultural landmark!

The Halden Canal and its surrounding areas offer memorable adventures for visitors of all ages, and stand out as a beautiful and partly untouched destination. As the oldest canal in Norway, the Halden Canal is a unique cultural heritage site. In recent years, the canal has been carefully restored, allowing you to travel from north to south and pass through three lock stations and five lakes on your journey.

Here, you can paddle or travel by boat through idyllic lakes and impressive lock systems — all set within a stunning landscape rich in history and cultural treasures. Enjoy swimming, fishing, dining, art and culture, overnight stays, and unforgettable nature experiences along the way!

Looking for a truly special place to stay? Accommodation with that little something extra? Along the Halden Canal, you can spend the night on the water, in a treetop cabin, at a historic crofter’s farm or even high up in a former fire tower – surrounded by silence, nature and history. These are stays with character, perfect for a romantic weekend, a small adventure or a peaceful break from everyday life. Stay close to the water, under the stars or behind thick timber walls – and wake up to something entirely different.
