Dalsland’s waterways
Between Värmland, Bohuslän, Vänern and Norway, you’ll find Dalsland. Or as it was once known: Sweden in miniature. There are lots of lakes, plains and even a mountain, Kroppefjäll, here.
The aqueduct in Håverud
Where Dalsland Canal passes Håverud you’ll find one of Dalsland’s best-known tourist destinations – the aqueduct. An aqueduct, somewhat simplified, is a water bridge. The one in Håverud was completed in 1868 and has 33,000 rivets.

Perch fishing in Lake Ärtingen
Lake Ärtingen, west of Bengtsfors, has plenty of fish, though we can’t promise they’ll bite when you come here. We get help from the fishing guide Tommy to catch a big perch, but we don’t get a bite until he shows us his secret bay.
