Bydgoszcz Canal, Industrial waterway in north-central Poland
The Bydgoszcz Canal extends for 27 kilometers between the cities of Bydgoszcz and Nakło, connecting the Vistula River basin with the Oder River system.
The construction of this 19-meter-wide waterway with eight locks reached completion in 1774 under Frederick II's directive following the annexation of the region to Prussia.
The Bydgoszcz Canal Museum displays numerous artifacts and documents that detail the evolution of inland water transportation in this region of Poland.
The canal operates from April through November, featuring six locks that regulate water levels and allow vessels to navigate between different elevations.
The canal system incorporates water-saving expansion tanks and specialized locks in the Czyżkówko and Okole districts, constructed during the 1908-1915 modernization period.
