is this a boat train,
or a train boat? thanks to steep variations in elevation, Poland's Elbląg Canal is broken up into short strips of water that are separated by
stretches of land that make the course traditionally unnavigable,
for the technical, the canal deals
with the 99.5m difference in water levels by means of a system of slipways,
locks, dams and safety gates, five slipways carry boats across dry land on
rail-mounted trolleys, in the summer months, pleasure boat cruises are readily
available and very popular, the total length of the canal is in excess of 80km
and it takes about 11 hours to get from one end to the other, what a neat way
to travel.
