Boat Trips on the Augustów Canal
The Augustów Canal is 101 km long and was built in the 19th century as an important communication route, connecting the tributaries of the Vistula River with the Baltic Sea via the Neman and Biebrza rivers, bypassing the lower Vistula. The entire canal complex includes 18 locks that facilitate navigating the height differences in the terrain and ease navigation between lakes and rivers. It serves not only as a transport route but also as a significant cultural and historical element, listed as a historical monument. Boat trips on the Augustów Canal offer a fascinating adventure that allows you to discover the charming corners of the region. The journey begins at the port of Augustów, where the boat sails along the Netta River toward Lake Necko. After passing through Lake Necko, the cruise continues along the Klonownica River, the shortest navigable river in Poland, leading to Lake Białe, which captivates with its bright green waters and rich birdlife. The boat then heads toward Lake Studzieniczne, passing through the Przewzięź Lock. In this picturesque area, you can explore the town of Studzieniczna, known for its beautiful Sanctuary and sacred monuments. The route of the cruise offers not only stunning views but also an opportunity to uncover the rich history of the region and enjoy close contact with nature.
