About
About Løveid sluse
Løveid is the first flight of locks above Skien, and the timings show what that costs: 2.6 nautical miles down to the town takes 45 to 50 minutes, while the 9.2 miles up to Ulefoss takes 80 to 95.
Seven sailings a week on the Ulefoss leg, three on the Skien one, with departures at 08:10, 08:55, 15:20 and 16:40 — one boat working up in the morning and back in the afternoon.
The three chambers here lift vessels about ten metres in a single flight, and the gates are still operated by hand as they were when the canal opened in 1892. The lock keeper's work has not been mechanised, which is one reason a passage through Løveid takes the better part of an hour.
