The children's friend on the Göta Canal
Say hello to Grynet the Badger!
Grynet Grävling is not like other badgers, she is seven years old and lives in a cosy little den by the Göta Canal. All her life she has lived in the beautiful environment that surrounds the canal with her adventurous parents who have always told stories about the various locks, boats and the beautiful landscapes. You quickly recognise her by the blue cap she always wears, a gift from her grandfather Göte Grävling.
Grynet is both curious and adventurous!
When it comes to everything to do with the Göta Canal, Grynet has an almost tireless curiosity. She loves to explore just about everything, whether it's climbing trees to get a better view of the canal, taking a bicycle ride on the towpath or swimming with the fishes. Also, she is a very kind girl, quickly befriending everyone she meets, especially the children who visit the canal and find it as exciting as she does.
Grynet loves boats!
When a new type of boat passes on the canal, Grynet is always excited. She absolutely loves all types of boats! At home on a shelf in her den, she has a little collection of handmade model boats that she carved. She has a natural aptitude for solving problems and often helps the canal's staff with various tasks, from oiling machinery to finding lost items that have fallen into the water. Sometimes she even gets to help her idols – the lock keepers – with the locking! Every night she writes down all the amazing things she learned and experienced during the day, in her little notebook.
