The Soot Canal was in operation from 1849 to 1932. The channel consisted of the original 16 locks between Skjervangen and Mortskjølungen. The Grasmobanen, a Script error: No such module "convert". long railroad that hauled the timber between the lakes Mortsjølungen and Tvillingtjern, was also part of the canal system.[3] In 1987, Eidskog Municipality acquired rights to the counter-current sluice system and labeled it a landmark attraction.[4]
