Przekop Wisły, Navigation canal in Vistula Delta, Poland
The Weichseldurchstich canal stretches across 325 meters in width, creating a direct water route from the Vistula River to the Baltic Sea.
Construction of the canal began in 1891 with 1000 workers, initially measuring one meter wide before expanding to its current dimensions by March 1895.
The canal forms part of the Vistula Delta system, which has influenced transportation patterns and maritime trade development in northern Poland since medieval times.
Modern vessels use this waterway for commercial shipping between inland Polish cities and Baltic Sea ports throughout most months of the year.
The canal's construction required cutting through the Old Binnennehrung dam, creating a seven-kilometer excavation between Schiewenhorst and Nickelswalde.
