Tourist waterway through Lithuania and Poland through the Augustava Canal and the Nemunas.

The project "Development of a common waterway connecting neighboring countries for sustainable tourism and cooperation" is implemented by the Nemunas Euroregion Association (until November 1, 2021, the project partner was the Marijampolė office of the Nemunas Euroregion Public Enterprise), the Polish Society "Euroregion Niemen" (Suwalki) and the State Institution of Lithuania Directorate of Inland Waterways. It is partially financed by the Lithuanian-Polish cross-border cooperation program 2014-2020 and partners.

Its main goal is to create a tourist waterway (track) connecting Lithuania and Poland via the Augustava Canal and the Nemunas River in order to promote safer tourism and popularize sustainable visits to natural and cultural heritage sites, increase tourism flows and longer stays of tourists in the border region, and accelerate tourism after the pandemic recovery.
