vala023146_hulta_250.jpg (20551 bytes)Hulta Lock is a single lock, completed in 1827.

The lock received its name from the Hulta Manor, which is located in the upper half of von Röök's map from 1774. Hulta was the place of residence for chief canal mechanic Gustaf Lagerheim (1820 - 1845).

Down and to the right is the Sjöbacka Farm.

The canal proposal by von Röök also shows the depth measurements in Lake Asplången.
