It's a cool place, but a taxi is a problem, it's normal to go there, back, they only take you by bank transfer (they won't take you for cash, because they throw a lot)
We were in winter, so we couldn't go for a ride. But the structures are impressive, considering the time of construction. It must be very beautiful in summer. And in winter, only fishermen met)
The Augustovsky Canal attracts with its construction of hydraulic structures with locks and spillway dams, the work of which can be observed during a boat trip, as well as the area is very picturesque. At the checkout, employee Galina is very friendly, caring, explains and provides information in an accessible way, makes sure that everyone gets what they want, someone can rent a catamaran, and someone can rent a boat or spend time with friends in a gazebo. Since the place is wonderful, the demand for it is high, and therefore it is worth waiting a little for your turn to rent either a catamaran, or a gazebo, or take a ride on a motor ship.
You can relax pleasantly, there is a kayaking service, not deep and wide, there are banks convenient for access, there is the purest black gancha nearby.
It's a great place. Nature is simply fabulous. Here you can stop for a few hours just to admire the beauty of the landscape and enjoy the unity with the environment.
The infrastructure is also good:
- you can take a boat ride and see the lock;
- rent bicycles, catamarans, boats.
- you can also have a great time along the canal in gazebos, of which there are a lot.
It's interesting, but it's a pity the route has become short - once they came to Poland.
And since the channel is like a channel, nothing unusual.

Beautiful nature.
Unfortunately, the Neman motor ship does not run at 18.20, 15 people are not going to work, + the woman at the checkout recommends everyone to just take a catamaran. Everything else is great! There was one cafe open on a weekday evening.
A very interesting engineering structure . If you are in Grodno, I advise you to definitely visit, preferably in the summer, to take a boat ride along the canal.
A beautiful picturesque place where you need to go with a company or family, take a boat ride, an hour walk will be a pleasure, it's without locks, take care in advance by taking some ice cream and chips with you, you can't buy it there. And at the Dombroka lock, you can rent a catamaran, and buy if the weather permits.
The beauty is incredible! We drove by, looked at it, took a walk. It is interesting and informative! Nemnovo Gateway is the final stop. To complete the picture, you need to start the journey from Dombrovka, where you can board a boat and see the canal from the water.
Interesting. A boat ride is not bad. Nature is beautiful. Tame swans in the course of the ship's movement. It is necessary to dress warmly in cool weather. The toilet on the ship is terrible. Even worse than in the Omega Hotel room.
I was here for the water festival. It 's raining so much , but there 's a place to hide . And there is a place where it is not expensive to eat, just look at one of them has such a price, I have another one . But in general , the class . The course is FREE OF CHARGE .
A great place to walk with any group, both with family and with colleagues at work. There are recreation areas, 2 motor ships with an hour-long walk and passage of locks.
When visiting Grodno, it is worth stopping by for the whole day. Two boats sail along the canal: the Neman (state-owned) and the Olga Somova (private). You can rent a gazebo, a house, a rental. You can take a tour of the canal directly from Grodno
We were on a weekday at around one o'clock in the afternoon.
The lock worker said that the last boat had already sailed, and there would be no more flights today.
But at the checkout it turned out that the flight is possible if there are at least 6 people.
There were 4 of us, and there were no additional applicants. We were ready to buy the whole boat, but the woman at the checkout carefully suggested that we take our time, in case someone pulls up and comes out cheaper for us.
But no one else showed up, and the four of us sailed. Something about 1 thousand rubles / person came out per person (translated into Russian).
If it is interesting to see the sluice, then there is no point in swimming. All this can be viewed from the shore in the immediate vicinity when a boat docks at the lock.
The only difference is in the angles for the photo, and on the boat you feel like a participant, and on the shore you feel like a spectator.
There is nothing special about swimming itself: you swim, you look at the beautiful nature, but in Belarus it is beautiful everywhere, in principle, you can just as well walk along the shore and admire. But it was very pleasant to ride in general, to sail past someone's manor house, gnawed by beavers of willow, scare away ducks and see geese flying over the ship.
I don't know if there were any more flights after us, but I saw the figure of an airlock employee who was moving away in the opposite direction from the pier, and the cashier was also sitting in the car, waving goodbye to us. So maybe our flight at 13:30 was the last one that day. Or maybe he was the last one because there was no one else and it started to rain
Great place! In any plan: rest, walk, impressions, history, cafe.
Be sure to take a boat ride. Along the way there are ducks, swans!, dragonflies, snakes - as if you are sailing through a nature reserve, and not a loaded tourist place!
It's worth a visit!
A unique place with a history. I recommend you to visit. I went kayaking on the canal. It is a very interesting experience and you will definitely not find such a thing anywhere in Belarus

A beautiful and cool place to relax with a barbecue company, and just for a walk.
The navigator led into the forest, it's better to follow the road signs! The Augustow Canal is very beautiful and majestic, but the boat tour is very boring!
The place is just wonderful for relaxing. It is possible to remove a gazebo with a barbecue at a very reasonable price. Beautiful and picturesque nature when you take a boat ride.
An unusual attraction that not everyone knows about! You definitely need to take a ride on a motor ship, you can even rent it completely for yourself for 150 rubles
To be honest, I don't really understand what to watch here! Gateways? Not particularly interesting. Old, rotten, small. Nature? It's not really there! It's a long way from Grodno. There are a lot of people in the summer. It is worth a visit if you are in Grodno and have already seen everything and been everywhere!
A wonderful place! Beautiful nature. It's very unusual to sail through the channels and see them in action! Bicycles can be rented and hiking trails are available.
The nature is super, the service is Belarusian, I do not advise riding on a motor ship, since if you are near the engine from behind on the deck under the canopy, then the headache is provided (loud sound of speakers, rumble and smell of the engine). I advise you to take a catamaran. Yandex navigator can also lead you to the wrong place, I advise you to turn right at the first fork in the paved road. If you follow the second dirt road, then it leads to the farmstead, so at the end of the path (300 meters) we go straight, not to the right.
