Bydgoszcz Canal

This year it will have been 240 years since the building of our great Bydgoszcz Canal Because of this, we name it the year of the Bydgoszcz Canal to commemorate the day its construction was complete. Soon, we will present a schedule for all the ‘water craziness’ that will take place in 2014. Please, make sure that you don’t miss it!

 

The Bydgoszcz Canal was built in years 1773-1774. It is a part of the international E70 waterway and it links the rivers Vistula and Odra through their three tributaries - Brda, Noteć, and Warta. The building of the Canal has contributed to the rapid development of the city itself, placing it among the major centres of mainland transport (thanks to the state-of-art hydrotechnical mechanisms and a distinct riverside architecture- more The trial of the historic water engineering facilities).
