Vrangfoss Locks, Staircase locks at Telemark Canal, Norway
The Vrangfoss Locks consist of five chambers that enable boats to navigate different water levels along the Telemark Canal system in Nome Municipality.
The lock system, integrated into the Telemark Canal in 1964, was constructed to support timber transportation and improve regional navigation capabilities.
The locks demonstrate Norwegian engineering excellence through their manual operation methods, which lock masters continue to employ in the present day.
Visitors can access the locks by taking the E18 highway to Rv 36 or utilizing bus services from Skien and Porsgrunn to Lunde station.
The lock guard apartments near the canal provide overnight accommodation options, allowing guests to experience life next to Norway's largest lock system.
