Best time to visit

Sunčana prolećna i letnja jutra najbolje prikazuju kanal i poglede na planinu, sa manje posetilaca nego u centralnim satima.

Budget tips

Poseta je besplatna i pristup kanalu ne naplaćuje se. Nošenje hrane ili pića omogućava uživanje u okruženju bez dodatnih troškova u obližnjim kafanama.

About

Quick facts: It has eight consecutive locks that lift boats 19 meters over a short distance. More than 24,000 vessels pass through here each year, making it a crucial passage for navigation on the canal.

Highlights: Boats take about 30 minutes to complete the entire lock section, offering a unique opportunity to observe the mechanical process and feel history in action. The sound of water and the moving gates create a fascinating atmosphere along with the views of the nearby Ben Nevis mountains.

Insider tips

  • Ponesite udobnu i vodootpornu obuću za šetnju blizu vode i brava.
  • Najbolje mesto za fotografije je tačno na početku prve brave gledajući naviše.
  • Izbegavajte vršne sate u podne da biste izbegli najveći broj turista.
  • Proverite raspored plovidbe da vidite kada su planirani prolazi brodova, to znatno poboljšava iskustvo.
