Lake Boren

On the north bank of the Göta Canal can be seen the tomb of Baron von Platen who died in 1829 before the canal was completed. Then a series of six locks leads down to Lake Boren (alt. 74m/243ft), and the boat continues across the lake to reach Borensberg at its east end in the early morning.

Over the next 22.2km/14mi, until the canal enters Lake Roxen at Berg (alt. 32.5m/107ft), it descends another 41.5m/136ft, passing through 16 locks.
