As part of National Photo Posting Month (#NaPhoPoMo), I’ll try to share a daily photo (postcard) for the month of November along side my regular blog musings. This month, I’ll be focusing and sharing photos from my own backyard – Sweden.
The Göta Canal was dug and built in the early 19th century to connect both coasts of Sweden (via Gothenburg and Stockholm) for transportation purposes. Instead of having to sail around Sweden’s southern coast to get to Stockholm and its east coast (and vice versa for Gothenburg), the 120 mile long canal with its 58 locks considerably shortens the journey.
It takes four days to slowly cruise the Göta Canal from Stockholm to Gothenburg and you can enjoy the tour via a classic river boat built in the 1800s with Stromma. You can also rent a bike from Cykelsemester to explore various segments of the canal.
