Weekend trip to Telemarkskanalen, Norway

Telemarkskanalen starts in Skien.
We visited six of the eight "lifts" in the channel system.
You can take the ferry all the way from Skien to Dalen in Telemark.
By car it takes about three hours to drive from Kristiansand to Skien.

Saw these cool rides on our way to Skien.

It's friday evening and our goal is to find a campground in Lunde, Telemark.

At the Lunde campground!

Good night!
