Sing-along by the Canal
Welcome to sing-along evenings by the canal in Karlsborg every Friday in July at 6:30 PM.
Free entry! But we are very happy if you buy our sing-along booklet on site, which makes it possible for us to organize this folk fest again next year.

Karlsborg Fortress
Karlsborg Fortress – The colossal structure that was built in the 19th century to serve as the nation’s reserve capital in times of unrest. The construction of the fortress on Vanäs Point was planned to take 10 years, but ended up taking 90 years. Today’s fortress is a joy for the whole family, and the community inside the walls still thrives. Visit shops, cafes, and the museum, or take one of the guided adventure tours. There is always something for everyone!
Göta Canal
A beautiful canal that stretches between Vänern and Vättern, perfect for walks and boat trips.
Tiveden National Park
A scenic park that offers beautiful views and hiking trails.
Kyrksjön in Mölltorp
A popular swimming spot with clear water and a cozy atmosphere.
Forsvik Lock
The lock has a drop of 3.5 meters, which is the highest for a single lock on the Göta Canal. The Forsvik lock was completed on October 14, 1813, and is the canal’s oldest. About 500 enlisted soldiers worked for 3 years to complete it, but despite this, the lock was built far too short.
