water level on the short stretch from Bromberg to the weir of Wloklawek is regulated and the following stretch to the capital Warsaw is also more or less secure for navigation. Afterwards one has to count with sandbanks very often and has to be very careful since they are not signalised. An echo sounder is no luxury at all! Between Kazimierz and Sandomierz things become a bit better, it even has excursion ships.
Between Sandomierz and Warsaw, great care is asked again, from Warsaw to Auschwitz one is suddenly on a rather modern waterway with locks of 110 x 11.50 m. The no longer attended port of Auschwitz gives an opportunity to visit one of the most sorrowful memorials in recent history.
