Danube-Oder-Elbe Canal, Planned waterway network in Moravian Gate, Czech Republic

The Danube-Oder-Elbe Canal represents a major infrastructure project designed to connect three significant European rivers through the Czech territory.

The concept originated in the 14th century under Emperor Charles IV, with partial construction attempts during the 1940s near Vienna and Upper Silesia.

The canal project reflects Central European aspirations for enhanced regional cooperation and transportation integration across multiple national borders.

The waterway system would enable cargo vessels to navigate between the North, Baltic, and Black Seas, reducing road transportation dependencies.

The Czech government cancelled the project in August 2023, ending centuries of planning for this strategic water corridor through Central Europe.
