Why has the cruise become
LEGENDARY?
⇩
Cruise duration: approx. 4.5 hours
We cross all 5 inclined planes
Return/transfer time by bus approx. 45 minutes
- We cross all 5 inclined planes of the Elbląg Canal – the most navigationally challenging slopes of the former Oberland hills.
- We discover and experience the operation of a world-unique inclined plane machinery (powered solely by the force of water), a marvel of 19th-century hydrotechnics.
- We sail along the section between the highest point of the canal system (the top of the Buczyniec inclined plane, approx. 99.5 m above sea level) and the lowest point (Elbląg Old Town, approx. 0.00 m above sea level).
- We ride aboard the ship on a carriage – “on grass”. We sail on water: through the canal, lake, and river!
- It is an inland-maritime cruise, as the waters of the Elbląg River are officially recognized as internal maritime waters.
- It is a one-of-a-kind cruise with a route passing through a strict nature reserve – Lake Druzno (of European importance, included in the Natura 2000 network), which serves as a haven for over 200 species of waterfowl and wetland birds.
- We admire the beauty and extraordinary charms of nature. The slopes of the inclined planes provide unforgettable experiences and views of the Elbląg Vistula Fens (Żuławy Elbląskie) and the Elbląg Upland (Wysoczyzna Elbląska), while the canal sections offer views of the border forests of the Iława Lake District.
