As early as 1800 it was possible to sail past the waterfalls by boat through eight locks (built by Baltzar von Platen). These locks and others from 1844 (built by Nils Ericson) can still be seen today in a park-like area (Gamla Dal'n). However, these two lock systems are out of service.

Standing in scenic Gamle Dal'n, the starting point for the upper locks, you have a beautiful view of the three lock routes of 1800, 1844 and 1916.
