The passenger ships Treat yourself to a trip on the beautiful Telemark Canal. Experience the ancient cultural history, the bustling crowds and travel through the locks as peo-ple did over 100 years ago. Packed and ready to go For those who wish to experience more of the canal we recommend a package tour where you can treat yourself to a night in one of our comfortable hotels. The canal bus will take you safely back to where your car is parked. By pleasure boat To experience the canal on board your own boat is a scenic holiday without stress and stormy winds.
Many people return year after year to enjoy the peace and quiet of the canal.
The journey is travelled at a slow pace from Langesund in the beautiful Telemark skerries via the towns of Porsgrunn and Skien, and up into the canal system. Canoeing To paddle along the canal is a fascinating experience. You can start at Dalen and Notodden if you wish. For families we recommend the stretch from Kviteseid to Ulefoss. We can give you tips on websites for other canals in our neighbouring countries.
