Inclined plane in Olesnica, Poland, one of five, at 84 km long Kanal Elblaski (Elblag Canal) designed in 1825 to 1844 by Georg Steenke and built 1844 to 1860, to connect the Drausensee (Jezioro Druzno) to the Drewenz (Drweca) River and cities of Deutsch Eylau (Ilawa), Osterode (Ostroda) and Elbing (Elblag). The difference in water levels approaches 100 m, and is overcome with using locks and a system of inclined planes © Wojciech Strozyk / Alamy Stock Photo
