Podlaskie Region Augustów Canal – Podlaskie Region, photo by Jadwiga Koniecko Augustów Canal is one of the Podlaskie region’s main tourist attractions. Being the largest investment of the Polish Kingdom in the 19th c., the Canal was recognized as a historic monument in 2007 by the President of Poland. The reason for its construction was to connect two rivers – the Vistula and the Neman, facilitating the transportation of goods to the Baltic sea without passing through Gdańsk and avoiding high Prussian duties. Today the Canal serves for tourists. Its total length is 101 km, part of which is in Belarus. On the Polish side, 14 of the 18 locks remain – with some of the original equipment still in place. Just like 200 years ago, the massive wooden sluice gates are opened manually, making a cruise on the Canal an even greater experience. See you in Eastern Poland.
