During the Canals main season 21.06 – 15.08 multiple locks have attendance of lock guards during 09.00 am and 06.00 pm, daily. It is not possible to pre-book the lock time as we initially follow the “first come first served principle” (sometimes the lock guard will change the order of the boats, this is to optimize the number of boats in the lock chambers. Meet up well in advance of the lock opening hours, so that it can be completed within the opening hours).
Before and after the main season (from 10.05 to 27.09) the locks are open Fridays in Skien and Løveid at 09.00am and noon 12.00pm. Pre-booking is not necessary, however come by 11:30 am at the latest. We prefer payment by bank card or by VIPPS in our lock system.
