Bega canal, Navigation canal in western Romania and northern Serbia.
The Bega Canal extends for 114 kilometers from Timișoara to Zrenjanin, connecting the Romanian and Serbian territories through a regulated waterway system.
Construction of the canal began in 1728 under Count Claudius Mercy's orders to drain flooded lands around Timișoara, becoming operational for ship transport by 1732.
The waterway transformed regional commerce in the 18th and 19th centuries by establishing direct navigation routes between local towns and major European capitals.
The canal section near Timișoara includes bicycle paths and walking trails along its banks, with multiple access points for recreational activities.
The hydroelectric power station in Timișoara's Fabric district, established in 1910, continues to generate electricity using the canal's water flow.
