Reviews

I fully recommend this trip! When you are in the area of Gdańsk or Żuławy region you cannot miss it. Instead of using locks, ships are lifted by water run lifts. It's hard to believe and imagine how it works especially when realise how old that construction is. The journey was fantastic, quite slow, but due to perfect weather we had, it was just perfect.
Alexander
A boat-train? I think it is the best name for it. The Canal itself is a great place, definitely a must for travellers. It's a very nice attraction and experience to ride the boat uphill on the rails, really worth to do it if you are passing this place or stay in this region. Nothing similar you will find in any other place.
