Open times

The long bridge lock is No. 15 in the order and leads from the lake Långbrohöljen to Lake Lax in Dalsland channel.

The difference in the Långbron sluss is 0.3 m. At the southern wall there is a mast crane. To the north of the lock there is both a road and a railroad bridge that crosses the road. The shuttle guard has difficulty seeing the north (from Lake Lax) coming boats due to these bridges. Dress at the waiting dock at the railway bridge and contact the locker.

Slusscafé

When the lock is open, the small lock cafe is also open. Here you can buy the big channel glass, waffles or a cup of coffee and enjoy while watching the boats that lock past. A nice visitor destination close to the village with swimming area, guest harbour, shops and sights.

In Långbron there is an old laundry room that, thanks to the furniture designer and Steneby student Josha Woudstra, has been transformed into a small, unique museum.

A little history

As you know, it is about a bridge. This leads over the Upperud River and is a stone vault bridge built in 1838. Today it is most likely to call the Long Bridge a part of Dals Långed. The northernmost part of the rather long-range urban area.

Only three decimeters of level difference makes the lock one of the lowest in the channel system. It leads boat traffic between Långbrohöljen and Laxsjön.

Just over three kilometers north of Långbron is Baldersnäs. A splendid mansion dating back to the 18th century. Here was one of the channel’s foremost advocates, Carl Fredrik Waern. During his time, a stunning English park was built with lots of tree species, several lust houses, artificial caves and islands. The park is nature reserve.
