Elblag & Elblag Canal

Unique Canal Construction in Poland. The difference in water levels approaches 100 m, and is overcome using locks and a remarkable system of tracks between lakes. The travel on the canal ship lasted about 5 hours including over 2 hours through the lake. It was long but the views were great indeed!
