Sailing Through Grass on Europe's Wildest Boat Ride

Sailing Through Grass on Europe's Wildest Boat Ride

Forget everything you think you know about boat trips – this 4.5-hour journey between Elbląg and Buczyniec literally takes you sailing through grass fields. The historic Elbląg Canal uses a system of medieval slipways that haul entire boats over land on rails, making you feel like you're gliding through meadows in the most surreal way possible. It's engineering genius meets Alice in Wonderland, and honestly one of the most mind-bending experiences you can have in Poland.

Tip

Book the full round trip from Elbląg to Buczyniec and back – the land-sailing sections are so wild you'll want to experience them twice from different angles.
