5, From Södertälje to Skanssund:

Södertälje:

After we got through the lock we still have the canal to pass through until we are out on the open sea.

Waiting for a clear signal.

The latest bridge that crossing the Södertälje canal.

The old bridge.

Brandalsund:

We are now 10 km Southern of Södertälje and passing through Brandalsund.

Skanssundet:

Skanssundet was an important defense for Stockholm. Long time ago Denmark and Russia were Sweden's main enimies and they came by war ships.

The castle Hörningsholm in background. The island is Mörkö.

The ferry anchored at Skanssundet. I often take this ferry when traveling South.

You see the old canon on the hill? I have a photo that my dad took of me sitting on this canon when I was 5 years old.

After leaving Skanssundet, towards the island Oaxen.
