As far back as ten centuries ago, local produce, timber, and wood products were shipped along an old, well - known route ​ — southward down the Drwęca River to the Vistula River and then northward to the Baltic Sea.
Sejak sepuluh abad silam, produksi setempat, kayu bangunan, dan produk kayu telah dikapalkan di sepanjang jalur lama yang terkenal ​ — turun ke arah selatan Sungai Drwęca ke Sungai Vistula lalu ke arah utara menuju Laut Baltik.
