[Vuangfos (i.e., Vrangfoss) Lock, Bandak Canal, Telemarken (i.e, Telemark), Norway] (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Scott Kraft said:

  That's quite a canal!

• StianH said:

  Title should be Vrangfos Lock, not Vuangfos. Nowadays Vrangfoss (litt. "difficult waterfall").

• mammoth club said:

  Also, the canal is nowadays called "Telemarkskanalen", i. e. Telemark Canal. It goes all the way from Dalen to the sea (Skagerrak), with a side-arm stretching north to Notodden. Just great for canoeing and camping!

• Geir Helge Nilsen said:

  Vrangfoss is the correct name. It is also a regrettable fact that nowadays tourist agencies use the collective name Telemarkskanalen for two canalizing projects with different history, but linked by the Norsjø lake: Bandakkanalen (or Norsjø-Bandakkanalen) and Skien-Norsjøkanalen Vrangfoss is the highest waterfall on the Bandak canal / Bandakkanalen Central area of the picture is position 6573658 N, 511558 E.. UTMV32 General axis of view about straight NW , probably shot from a small elevation beside the old tourist pathway between Eidsfoss and Vrangfoss: Kongens utsikt (The King's view, don't actually know wether the union king of Norway and Sweden actually ever stood there, but he visited the canal a year after the opening ceremony) at position 6573512 N, 511702 E. UTMV32

• T H said:

  This looks like a very simple but elegant canal. It doesn't look like it's cluttering the area like most seem to do.

A damn Dam?

  As far as I can see, we're just a little upstream of here:
