Gliwice Canal, Canal system in Upper Silesia, Poland.
The Gliwice Canal extends for 41.6 kilometers through the Silesian region, connecting the Oder River to the industrial center of Gliwice.
Construction of the canal took place from 1935 to 1939, replacing the older Kłodnicki Canal and opening for service in 1941.
The canal system features six locks in different districts, including Łabędy, Dzierżno, Rudziniec, Sławięcice, Nowa Wieś, and Kłodnica within Kędzierzyn-Koźle.
The waterway operates from March 15 to December 15 annually, allowing vessels up to 38 meters wide to travel at speeds of 6 kilometers per hour.
Two reservoirs, Dzierżno Duże and Dzierżno Małe, supply water to maintain the canal's 3.5-meter depth throughout its course.
