The Augustów Canal is one of the unique tourist attractions of a Poland–Belarus borderland known for its highly valuable natural, cultural-historical and tourism-related features. From the beginning of the 21st century, following total renovation as well as the opening of both water and road versions of the Rudawka–Lesnaya border crossing (in 2005 and 2017 respectively), it has been possible to observe a many-fold increase in tourist traffic within the Augustów Canal tourist space. The present article thus helps fill a research gap with an up-to-date description of this intensification and an analysis of its dynamics in terms of the countries of origin of visiting tourists, its seasonality and choice of transport, be it by water (by boat) or by road (by bicycle or on foot). This study continues investigations into the influence of the easing of the border regime in Belarus (introduction of a visa-free zone) on the volume of tourist traffic. Factors influencing cross-border traffic on the Augustów Canal have been studied at local, regional, national and international levels (multi-scalar). Fieldwork has also been organised, using the participant-observer method, and statistical data from the Polish Border Guard has been analysed. Results confirm that the greatest use made of the Rudawka–Lesnaya crossing is by tourists from Poland and Belarus, with smaller numbers from Lithuania, Russia and Germany. Poles are the nation most often availing themselves of opportunities to cross the border by water, while Belarusians show a preference for the road crossing.

Kanał Augustowski to bezcenne, unikatowe w skali europejskiej dzieło budownictwa wodnego z pierwszej połowy XIX wieku. Stanowi świadectwo wysokiego kunsztu technicznego i realizatorskich umiejętności polskich inżynierów wojskowych i cywilnych. Ta wodna arteria miała połączyć Wisłę – przez rzeki: Narew, Biebrzę, Nettę i Czarną Hańczę – z Niemnem, a następnie przez rzekę Windawę – z portem nadbałtyckim Windawą. Ponieważ projektowany Kanał Windawski nie został zbudowany – Kanał Augustowski łączy się z Bał-tykiem przez Niemen.Kanał Augustowski bez wątpienia jest jednym z najciekawszych obiektów zabytkowych o charakterze drogi wodnej. Jest związany z rejonami Natura 2000 oraz zawiłą historią. Celem pracy było zbadanie pod względem jakościowym i ilościowym stanu bazy noclegowej i gastronomicznej Augustowa i rejonu Kanału augustowskiego. Do przeprowadzenia badań zebrano informacje o bazie noclegowej i gastronomicznej na całym polskim odcinku Kanału, ankietyzacji poddano 200 osób. Wyliczono średni pobyt, określono jakość bazy noclegowej i gastronomicznej. Całość zilustrowano w tabelach. Artykuł ma charakter badawczy.

The Augustów Canal is a priceless, unique in the European scale creation of hydro engineering from the first half of the 19th century. It is an evidence of the high technical art and realising skills ofPolish military and civil engineers. This water artery had to join the Vistula River – by the Narew, Biebrza, Netta, and Czarna Hańcza Rivers – with the Niemen River, and then, through the Windawa River, with the Baltic Sea port Windawa. As the projected Windawski Canal has not been constructed, the Augustów Canal is connected with the Baltic Sea by the Niemen River. The Augustów Canal is undoubtedly one of the most interesting listed buildings of the waterway nature. It is connected with the Natura 2000 regions as well as with tingled history. An aim of this article was to investigate in terms of quality and quantity the state of accommodation and catering base of Augustów and the region of Augustów Canal. For the purpose of research the authors collected information on the accommodation and catering base across the entire Polish section of Canal and interviewed 200 people. They computed the average stay, determine the quality of accommodation and catering base. The whole study is illustrated with tables. The article is of the research nature.
