Elblag Canal Tour from Gdansk

10. Elblag Canal Tour from Gdansk

The Elblag Canal, also called the Elblag-Ostroda Canal, is a 150-years-old canal in Poland that runs from Elblag to Ostroda. At over 80 km in length, it is the longest navigable canal still in use in Poland. It is also one of the most interesting canals in Europe. Elblag Canal’s uniqueness arises from its peculiar choice of engineering to tackle a particularly difficult section of the route where the water level rises by 100 meters. This particular section is located between Druzno Lake and Piniewo Lake, a distance of about 10 km. Because the difference in height was too large, it was impractical to build traditional locks. Instead, an ingenious system of inclined planes was employed where the boats are lifted out of the water and placed into tracks and dragged across dry lands. Itinerary: Meeting with driver and departure to Buczyniec. Boat cruise on the canal by four inclined planes ( Buczyniec, Olesnica, Jablonki, Jelenie ) Finish a boat tour in Jelenie and transport to Elblag Coffee break and free time in Elblag Driving back to Gdansk and finish a tour

With Marek, our guide, you could feel the enthusiasm with which he spoke about his city and his personal stories. After a tour of the city center we took the boat to Westerplatte where WWII started. Then we went to Oliva, where we could listen to an incomparable organ concert in the Cistercian monastery. The entire park and the mighty monastery complex are worth seeing! Finally, we drove to Zopot and looked at the sophisticated beach promenade. The house of Klaus Kinski and the "crooked house" were also worth seeing.

We spent the day together with Barbara. she awaited us punctually in front of the ship, where she dropped us off just as reliably a good seven hours later. in the meantime we spent a very pleasant time with lots of information, anecdotes and interesting facts about the Tri-City. It was a great day and we can warmly recommend Barbara as a tour guide. Thanks!!!

Everything is fine. I met with a sign, drove to the hotel, showed where the old city was and left. In short, he did his job. It's just a transfer from the airport to the hotel.

Our guide was on time and very knowledgeable abort the area and the castle. We both enjoyed the trip

A big plus for a private driver and excellent guides.
