The Augustow Canal is a monument of technology located on the territory of two countries – Poland and Belarus. It connects the Vistula river, through the tributary of the Narew – Biebrza rivers, with the Neman river, through the Czarna Hańcza river.
The Augustow Canal was created thanks to the use of the existing conditions of a naturally shaped terrain, saturated with numerous rivers and lakes, which, connected by artificially made ditches and applied hydrotechnical devices, created a waterway with a length of just over a hundred kilometers.
