Sosnowo Lock
Sosnowo Lock is the second lock on the Augustów Canal in Poland. It is located near the village of Sosnowo in the administrative district of Gmina Sztabin, within Augustów County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland. This location lies approximately north-west of Sztabin, south of Augustów, and north of the regional capital Białystok.
As part of the Augustów Canal, the lock was the first waterway in Central Europe to provide a direct link between the two major rivers – Vistula River and the Neman River – and it provided a link with the Black Sea to the south through the Oginski Canal, Dnieper River, Berezina Canal and Dvina River. It is currently a conservation protection zone proposed by Poland for inscription onto the World Heritage List of UNESCO. It was completely destroyed during World War II and was rebuilt in 1948.
Camping facilities are available next to the Lock.
