About us
Opplev Haldenkanalen AS owns MS Brekke and runs scheduled and charter trips on the Haldenkanalen. We collaborate with several experiences in Halden, so if you have any questions, just get in touch for boat trips and other experiences.
MS Brekke takes you on a cruise through Norway's oldest canal system, from Brekke locks, Europe's highest continuous lock staircase. The lock system from 1924 lifts us a spectacular 27 meters through four lock chambers up to the Stenselva River. The boat passes idyllic Krappeto, a disused lock site and once the canal's hub. We continue into Aspern. On scheduled trips and dinner cruises we return to Brekke locks.
Experience Halden Canal AS is owned by Inger and Lars Petter Midttun Lie, Asgeir Borgemoen, Heidi Ottesen Sandmo and Klatring på Grensen AS.
