Telemarkskanalen

Service Description

Ulefoss is one of Norway's oldest industrial communities with sawmill operations from the 15th century and mining and ironworks operations from the 17th century. To this day, street goods are produced from the ironworks at Ulefoss, which are spread all over the world where the manhole covers are easily visible in the streetscape. The Telemark Canal runs through the municipality and here we find, among other things, the spectacular lock system in Vrangfoss with its 5 chambers with a total lift height of 23 meters. We first stop at Ulefos Hovedgaard where we get a tour and some lunch. We then take a canal trip from Lunde to Ulefoss. We then get to experience Vrangfoss, which is spectacular with the largest facility in the canal system with 5 lock chambers. Here the bus will wait for us and take us to Øvre Verket for lunch and a tour. The tour includes: - Modern tour bus with a friendly and helpful driver from Tele-Tur - Guided tour and lunch at Ulefos Hovedgaard - Telemark Canal with lock tour from Lunde to Ulefoss - Guided tour and dinner at Øvre Verket
