The Ostróda-Elbląg Canal, the so-called “Elbląski†is a unique water system connecting a number of lakes in Western Masuria with the Vistula Bay. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it takes you through almost 100 meter, practically natural, difference in water levels, using a system of locks and inclined planes. The latter are rail lifting mechanisms, moved mechanically by the water flow. The planes are of historic value on the world scale as far as the history of hydraulic engineering is concerned
