The highest point of the Göta Canal, 91.50 metres above sea level, is located at Tåtorp. An obelisk stands there in the woods, where a bend in the canal was cut short in 1936. It forms a narrow branch canal with a secluded mooring spot on a canal island. Holger Peterson, a long-standing author and writer for our sister magazine YACHT, discovered this spot for himself during extended cruises on his Reinke ‘Fuchur’. “The contrast between an ocean-going yacht and a mooring in the heart of Scandinavian nature has a magical effect on us. We want to go back there,” he enthuses – whilst at the same time wondering where our readers’ own magical spots might be.
