Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Djurgårdsbrunnskanalen (Swedish: "The Spring of Djurgården Canal") is a canal in central Stockholm, Sweden, separating the island Djurgården from the northern mainland (or more correctly Southern and Northern Djurgården).
The canal stretches a kilometre from Lilla Värtan to Djurgårdsbrunnsviken allowing ships 9,5 metres wide and 2,1 metres deep to pass.[1] Two bridges passes over the canal: Djurgårdsbrunnsbron and Lilla Sjötullsbron.
The decision to build the canal was taken by King Charles XIV in 1825. The canal was completed in 1834.[2]
