Marten Trotzigs grand

Mårten Trotzig is the narrowest alley in Stockholm. At its narrowest point, it is only 90cm wide. Some guidebooks claim it is the narrowest alley in Europe, but unfortunately, that is not true; there is one in Prague that is only 60cm wide. With all certainty, there are alleys in other European countries that are narrower than Mårten Trotzig.

Slussen translates to “the lock,” and the reason for the lock is the difference in water level. Two bodies of water surround Stockholm: Lake Mälaren on the one side (west) and the Baltic Sea on the other (east). Lake Mälaren is approximately 70cm higher than the Baltic Sea.
