Tour of the Augustow vicinity. You may see famous Augustow Canal which from the time it was first built with its numerous sluices, was described as a technological wonder. Augustow Canal was the first summit level canal in Central Europe to provide a direct link between the two major rivers, Vistula River and Dnieper River through the Biebrza River so it provided a link between the Baltic and the Black Sea. Then you will escape into the wild environment of Wigierski National Park.
